Philadelphia, PA, Aug. 27, 2013 — Bike enthusiasts with a love for farm-fresh food and a way with words are invited to enter a contest to win tickets to this year’s Urban Farms Bike Tour, Saturday. Sept. 7. Do you remember the first time you tasted an heirloom tomato? The moment you discovered kale was not only edible, but delicious?  Tell us about that moment in 40 words or less.

Two lucky (and articulate) locavore winners will be announced Friday, Aug. 30. See weaversway.coop/articles/win-two-tickets-our-urban-farm-bike-tour for details of the contest.
