Explore the Harrison’s\u00a0countryside via cycle on July 25 and meet the local farmers.\u00a0 The Agassiz Farms Cycle Tour is a leisurely self-guided cycle tour around a 25 km flat route visiting farms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Stop into the Agassiz Harrison Museum, an old CPR train station and learn the history of the community, or into the UBC Dairy Research centre to learn about their renowned research and education programs. A farm cycle tour would not be complete without a ride on a haywagon through the dairy barns, stop to chat with the goats or sit back and enjoy a slice of homemade pie with a cup of freshly roasted coffee from a 1919 fire roaster.<\/p>\n
