Pedal through some of New Jersey's most beautiful farmland. Get to know the diversity of Jersey’s agricultural production. Shop for local produce as you ride and we will pick up your purchases and deliver them back to the starting point for you.
Ride options are a 16 mile route; a 29 mile route; and a 52 mile route with stops at a cranberry farm, vegetable farms, orchards, nurseries, an organic farm, and a community supported agriculture farm.
