Bronx Food & Farm Tours: Environmental Justice in Mott Haven & Port Morris

Thank you for your interest in joining the first Bronx Food and Farm Tour of 2025! This is a hybrid bike- and bus-tour. Bus seats are very limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please do not request a bus seat unless you can commit to attending the tour.

Please keep in mind that this tour will be beginning and ending at two different locations. Bus service will not be available to return participants to the Community Garden at 128 Lincoln Avenue following the tour.

If you would like to join the tour by bike, free Citi Bike passes will be available (there are Citi Bike docks adjacent to 128 Lincoln Avenue and Bruckner Mott Haven Community Garden). We also strongly encourage participants to bring their own bikes. All tour participants joining by bike will be required to wear a bike helmet and to sign a liability waiver. Please keep in mind that Citi Bike rentals do not include bike helmets, so all participants must bring their own helmet. The bike route will be just under four miles, and the group will travel on city streets.

If you are filling out this form on behalf of multiple people, please submit one response form per adult participant to ensure an accurate head-count. Participants under eighteen years of age must be accompanied by a guardian.

Participants will receive confirmation of their registration status during the week prior to the event.
