Sacramento bicycle shop Edible Pedal is leading a bicycle ride and farm tour of Del Rio Botanicals in conjunction with the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op on Saturday.
According the the co-op's website, Del Rio Botanicals is a West Sacramento Certified Organic farm on the Sacramento River, and Proprietor Suzanne Ashworth is an authority on seed saving and grows many unusual varieties.
On the tour, which costs $20, cyclists will ride at a leisurely pace to the farm, where a tour will be given and there will be tastings of goat cheese, farm-fresh tomatoes and local wine.
Event organizers recommend bringing sunscreen, a bicycle helmet and comfortable shoes for walking around the farm.
Riders are tentatively scheduled to meet at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at Edible Pedal, located in the alley between 17th, 18th and L streets and Capitol Avenue.
Every Thursday we deliver a local event guide straight to your inbox, right in time to make your weekend plans. Sign me up.

The local farms of Sacramento are by far, our best kept secret. Del Rio Botanicals is a visual wonder of what a farm should be. There are a few spots available but the deadline is today for signup.

It would be nice if these were sent out a little earlier than Thursday. I realize it might not be possible but some events need earlier alerts.
