The nonprofit helps connect farms and food producers with business assistance, ranging from financial to tech assistance. \u201cThis year\u2019s ride particularly speaks to the long history of agriculture in the Adirondacks. I think that evades a lot of people. The narrative of the Adirondack Park is as America\u2019s first wilderness. That obscures the fact that \u2026 people have been farming here for millennia. Long before Euro-American settlers came to the area, there were Indigenous people living and farming here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each year\u2019s event follows a different route and regularly sells out its 200 spots. This year\u2019s route traverses 22 miles through the Adirondack Park and North Country, starting at Ausable Brewing Co. before heading into Peru, with stops at the Babbie Rural &amp; Farm Learning Museum and Northern Orchard Co., before finally making its way back into Keeseville, to North Country Creamery and Mace Chasm Farm, and returning to Ausable Brewing.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full article in the Adirondack Explorer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Annual Bike the Barns event brings attention to Adirondack agricultural heritage\u00a0 By Holly Riddle On Oct. 7, cyclists from around the country will take to the North Country\u2019s backroads for the annual Bike the Barns event.
