SUMMARY:River Valley Ice Cream Ride
DESCRIPTION:The River Valley Ice Cream Ride blends the best of summertime fun – bikes\, gorgeous roads and ice cream!  And\, it supports local agriculture and better biking in the beautiful Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts! \nWhether you’re a daily cyclist or only get your bike out a few times a year\, this ride has options for you.  It’s a great event to share with the whole family or with cyclists of varying abilities.  One route features a scenic off-road bike path option that young families can enjoy. \nWe’re thrilled to have Bart’s Homemade as our ice cream partner for this event.  Bart’s has been making delicious ice cream right here in the Connecticut River Valley since 1976.  The Bart’s truck will be on site at Unity Park and we’ll be scooping one of our favorite flavors at each rest stop. \nWhile some may disagree\, a diet of only ice cream is not the best health choice.  Therefore\, we’ve engaged chef Tom Easton to prepare a summer-fresh lunch using the best local ingredients. Mid-summer is the perfect time to pick the best Pioneer Valley corn and other fresh produce.  You’ll find delicious local foods on the table at Unity Park on July 30th! \n\n\nThree Routes to Serve Everyone with a Cycling Appetite:\n\nThe Kiddie Scoop Loop\, five (5) miles along the Canal Side Rail Trail in beautiful Turners Falls\, MA.\nThe Single Scoop Loop\, twenty five (25) miles through Connecticut River Valley towns of Montague\, Sunderland and Deerfield\, Massachusetts.\nThe Double Scoop Loop\, fifty (50) miles which adds gorgeous riding in Gill and Northfield\, MA to the Single Scoop Loop above.\n\nRide Your Bike\, Eat Ice Cream\, Do Good!\nThe River Valley Ice Cream Ride is produced in cooperation with and supports two important non-profit organizations in the Pioneer Valley – Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture (CISA) and MassBike Pioneer Valley. \nCISA has been strengthening farms and building the local food economy since 1993.  Their Be A Local Hero\, Buy Locally Grown public awareness campaign is the longest-running and most comprehensive buy local program in the United States.  Over 400 Pioneer Valley farms and related businesses benefit from the Local Hero marketing and educational efforts that build public demand for local farm products.   CISA’s important work helps strengthen the financial viability of hundreds of farms who produce locally-grown foods and protect the scenic working landscape that makes the Pioneer Valley such a beautiful place to visit and ride. \nMassBike Pioneer Valley is the local chapter of the Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition. MassBike has been championing safe and accessible cycling in the Commonwealth for nearly 40 years.  Throughout its four decades\, MassBike has worked with communities across the Commonwealth to promote a bicycle-friendly environment and encourage bicycling for fun\, fitness and transportation. \nBike to Bovines!\nAlong the way\, riders will gain some insights into the importance and value of local food production here in the Valley.  And what local food is more fun than ice cream!?  We’ll visit Williams Farm in Sunderland and Upingill Farm in Gill to meet some of the hard-working cows (and their farmers) and see some of the work that goes into producing local foods.   Throughout the Single Scoop and Double Scoop Loops\, riders will see how active\, viable agriculture helps create and protect the landscape that makes the Pioneer Valley such a pleasant place to live\, work and play. \nJoin us in the charming community of Turners Falls\, MA on Saturday\, July 30\, 2016 for this fun and delicious cycling event. We’ll gather at the Town of Montague’s scenic Unity Park along the banks of the Connecticut River. \nRegistration is Open!\nHelp support local farms and better biking! \nRegistration Fees:\n(Includes marked and supported route\, rest stops\, lunch\, and unity park activities) \nDouble Scoop Loop (50 Miles)\nAdult 18 & over             $70\nJunior (under 18)*         $35 \nSingle Scoop Loop (25 miles)\nAdult 18 and over          $50\nJunior (under 18)*         $25 \nKiddie Scoop Loop (5 miles)\nAdult 18 and over          $25\nJunior (>10 and < 18)*  $10\nKiddie (under 10) **      Free \n*   Must be accompanied by an adult. \n** Must be accompanied by parent or guardian.

SUMMARY:The Future of Food: Farm Tour at North Amherst Community Farm
DESCRIPTION:Building the Future of Local Food With a Community Farm  \nIn the Valley\, we’re fortunate to have excellent farmlands and a strong agricultural economy. But farming is still a challenging endeavor\, and the land itself can be hard to come by. The non-profit “community farm” model is an innovative approach to this challenge. \nOn Saturday\, July 30\, join Kestrel and the North Amherst Community Farm for an inside look at this approach\, with a tour of Simple Gifts Farm. Farmer Dave Tepfer will walk us through the workings of the farm\, including vegetable and livestock production\, and share how community involvement supports it. \nStay after the tour for complimentary “pick your own” flowers & herbs from the fields or get your hands dirty helping the farm’s CSA members with a Garlic Harvest! Hope you can join this special summer event. \n\n\n\nLearn More & Register Now >>

SUMMARY:Flax & Linen: Following the Thread from Past to Present
DESCRIPTION:A symposium presented by The New England Flax and Linen Study Group\, in collaboration with Historic Deerfield. \nFlax is a textile fiber with a 30\,000-year history of human use.

The ancient history of this amazing fiber will be brought into the present and followed into the future during this two-day symposium. \nUnlike most symposiums with speakers presenting papers\, this symposium will follow a different format – shorter sessions and demonstrations covering all aspects of flax from beginning to end – planting to harvesting\, retting\, processing\, spinning\, weaving and finishing cloth – with additional lectures on specific topics. Highlights will be our keynote speakers on Saturday evening and a curated tour of Historic Deerfield’s textile collections to end the program. \nOptional lunches will be available on Saturday and Sunday\, and an optional dinner will be available on Saturday evening at the Deerfield Inn. There will also be a free welcome reception on Friday evening\, August 19\, from 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. at the Deerfield Inn for those arriving into Deerfield for the symposium. \nProgram Sessions*: Saturday and Sunday\, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.\nFlax in the Field – botany basics\, flax seed\, growing & harvesting\nRetting It Right – chemistry of retting\, historic & current methods\, flax ponds\nFlax Processing – overview of processing with demonstrations\, spinning\, weaving\, finishing\, bleaching\, and special tool exhibits\nFlax Today – diversity of flax products\, local cloth/fibershed panel discussion\nKeynote – For the Communal Good: Communal Flax Processing in Colonial Bethlehem with Johannes & Christian Zinzendorf\nSpinning a Thread – flax spinning wheels\, linen spinning basics\, distaffs\nWeaving Linen – what makes weaving linen unique\, special techniques & finishing\, bleaching\, panel discussion with linen weavers focused on special projects\nAll Manner of Useful Cloth – short presentations on Rough Cloth\, A Simple Box of Weaving Equipment\, the Shakers and Linen\, and Interpretation at Historic Deerfield\nFlynt Center – identifying linen display\, guided tour of selected linens in HD collections with curator Ned Lazaro \nFor the full schedule\, visit the New England Flax and Linen Study Group website. \nPresenters/Demonstrators include*:\nJohannes & Christian Zinzendorf\, Authors of The Big Book of Flax\nFlorence Feldman-Wood\, The Spinning Wheel Sleuth\nJustin Squizzero\, Eaton Hill Textile Works & Marshfield School of Weaving\nBecky Ashenden\, Vävstuga\nCassie Dickson\, John C.
