About the Farm Tour
|
Please join Montgomery Countryside Alliance for the 15th anniversary of the Montgomery County Farm Tour to benefit the Reserve and our quest to protect this special place. (What Has MCA Done for Me Lately?). You’ll enjoy quiet roads, rural landscapes with views of Sugarloaf Mountain.
Riders will choose among routes of around 6, 18, 25 30+ and 62 miles including quiet, rolling landscapes dotted with the Reserve’s orchards, red barns and silos. Many of the routes include views of Sugarloaf Mountain. Beginners and experienced riders welcome! Check out our Safety and FAQ Page |

A turn by turn look at the 62 mile ride from 2020 - options include routes for beginners or advanced riders like the folks who shared their ride here. (The start point will be different this year so this route will change)

The Agricultural Reserve is 100,000 acres of farmland and parkland set aside by Montgomery County back in the 80s to protect rapidly dwindling farmland. Montgomery Countryside Alliance is the small (but Mighty!) nonprofit that helps these farms on Metro's edge endure despite intense development pressure.
Every minute 3 acres of farmland is lost in America - the Ag Reserve is our chance to beat the trend
