Would you like to take a lazy Sunday bike ride AND get familiar with small flocks of South Bronx farm animals? Please join us on April 19th for the first City Chicken bike tour in NYC.
You will learn about raising chickens, building coops, and see how
well chickens fit into community gardens – providing eggs and manure,
eating pests, weeds and kitchen scraps, tilling the soil, and inspiring
curiosity in all who visit. This tour is offered in partnership with GreenThumb and led by Owen Taylor (Just Food) and Eric Thomann (Backyard Garden, Just Food Trainer, New School, NYCHA).
Details:
Sunday, April 19th 9:30am-1pm
Tour begins at Taqwa Community Farm, 90 W. 164th Street at Ogden Avenue, Bronx
Tour ends at the Garden of Happiness, Prospect Avenue between 181st and 182nd Street, Bronx
Bring a bag lunch.
To find out more, visit the Just Food City Farms Community Workshops Page and the Just Food City Chicken Meetup NYC website
Please pass this message on to your chicken and bike loving friends!

Wow … seriously ? A chicken sight seeing tour ?
In all honesty, I’ve seen weirder things, this might have been fun.
Any chance you could tell us how it all went ? I’m really curious.
