Ride4ECO 5-mile Fun Ride

Saturday, May 3rd @ 10AM

Ride4ECO

Prince Georges county is in dire need of accessible and affordable healthy foods and healthy activities.

Obesity and diet related diseases is at epidemic proportions.
Over 70% of adults are overweight or obese.
Over 70% of all restaurants are fast food.

ECO City Farms is a beacon of hope, growing healthy, environmentally friendly local produce and building communities connected by history and sustainable transport.

Ride4ECO will help ECO City Farms reach out to the local community by raising the funds to build a bike stop on the new Anacostia bike trail at their farm in Edmonston, one of the poorest and (until very recently) most polluted communities in the inner-Beltway region. The bike stop will bring more people to ECO City Farms and orient them to the rich African American farming heritage of the area as well as their mission to end food deserts and promote healthy eating in the underserved communities of Prince George’s County.

The bike stop will offer:

3-sided kiosk for interpretative signage highlighting the story of African American farmers that cultivated the area before and after the Civil War
Directional trail signs
Picnic table
Tire fill station
Water fountain
Bike rack.

What ECO City Farms Needs

Ride4ECO needs to raise $5,000 as matching funds in order to receive the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority Grant funding for ECO City Farms’ new bike stop. This means that for every dollar you donate ECO receives $2 towards the bike stop.

The bike stop will include a 3-sided kiosk for interpretative signage, directional trail signs, a picnic table, tire fill station, water fountain, and bike rack.
