Bikeout

new-hope.png

Attendees can expect a unique fall trip at Bikeout: New Hope. In one intensive weekend experience, more than 100 people will travel through historic towns, including a stop in New Hope, visit an orchard for apple picking and then travel to an active farm and CSA, enjoy a special three-course farm-to-fork meal, camp out overnight on a private farm, wake up to an outdoor morning yoga session, and bike more than 60 miles roundtrip total, mostly on a protected trail system.

Attendees will ride on the D&L Trail for most of the trip, a beautiful national heritage corridor that celebrates the historic canal system that once ran commerce in the region, and now serves as an escape for recreational bikers and walkers in Bucks County, PA. A handful of local bike shops will provide ride support includingFirehouse Bicycles and Keystone Bicycle Co. The group will head first to Solebury Orchards, the busy local farmstand where riders will break for lunch, pick apples and explore the fields. Then after passing through New Hope and crossing the state border on the Lambertville Bridge, the group’s destination is a hilltop farm calledSandbrook Meadow Farm, an active farm and CSA in New Jersey. 

On the farm, riders will set up their own campsite — tent, sleeping bag and gear — and spend an evening enjoying the company of the bike community. They’ll be treated to a three-course farm-to-fork dinner featuring the farm’s ingredients, curated and prepared by Chef Katie Briggs of Eckletik Domestic. They’ll enjoy beer from Flemington’s Lone Eagle Brewery and hard cider from the nearby Ironbound Cider, as well as traditional apple cider from Solebury Orchards. And then they’ll sleep under the stars on a field looking over New Jersey.

On Sunday morning, the riders will be led through a cycling-focused yoga session by New Hope’s Create Space Movement Laboratory and enjoy a breakfast prepared by Eckletik Domestic, with cold brew coffee by Elixr Coffee. The group will then depart for New Hope, where they’ll be provided with valet bike service to allow them to explore the town’s restaurant scene and boutique shops. Riders will then depart for the remaining few miles on the trail to Yardley Station, where they’ll return back home by train or car.

In all, about two dozen partner organizations—including the towns and municipalities along the way—are helping to make Bikeout: New Hope a reality. This project was completed in partnership with the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, Inc. Funding was provided in part by a grant from the William Penn Foundation, administered by Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, Inc.

OITF @ the Hickories

via OITF:

The Hickories has been a part of our Summer tour since 2013, and we love it so much that in most of those years, we’ve done two back-to-back dinners here. We love the peach trees, the trout pond, the flocks of humanely raised farm animals that yield meat as well as wool. Farmer Dina was a poet in a past life, which is fitting for someone who performs poetry every day in the fields of her family farm. She’ll tell us all about her latest projects during the farm tour, before we settle into a feast from guest chef Daniel Sabia, who will bring his wood-fired cooking expertise for his very first OITF event.

Honeysuckle Pop-Up @ Plowshares

honey+suckle.jpg

Honeysuckle represents the evolution of the food that has been a part of and sustained the embodiment of the black experience in America. Honeysuckle seeks to remove the framing of what soul/southern food is and to utilize the ingredients therein as tools and colors instead of cemented ideals.

 

These ingredients as tools frees them from expected standards and allows for improvisation and creativity. Improvisation has been one of the defining qualities of the black identity and imagination in that it has allowed for escape, freedom, art, and an individual aesthetic. Honeysuckle looks to agriculture as the nurturing foundation of this improvisation.    

 

Honeysuckle seeks its patrons to appreciate the artistic sensibilities of African American heritage and culture through food while simultaneously promoting the ideals of farming, sustainability and local economies through the lens of the perspective of the modern African American.

Sopa Bruja 

(Witchy Black Bean Soup)
Vegan & Gluten-free

Sopa Bruja is a love-song to some of Turtle Island's living legacies.  Rich & smoky; redolent with notes of cacao, chilis, herbs & roots; sweetened gently with dried fruit; this dish celebrates both the magical plant-beings of Turtle Island & those countless peoples who with them, enter into relationship & service, and have done so since time immemorial. 

Gluten-Free Sourdough Bread

Vegan & Gluten-Free

A hearty & delicious loaf of sourdough bread, made with brown rice, corn, millet & garbanzo flours, as well as a variety of seeds. This is shockingly good vegan, gluten-free bread that surprises skeptics with its yumminess and delights those gluten-free amongst us.

The Eclk Collective is preparing a cucumber and pea gazpacho with cilantro, scallion and lime and a summer salad.
