Friends, fresh local food and biking – is there any better combination for a sunny spring Saturday in Williamstown? Last Saturday, Real Food Williams brought all of the above together for the first annual Local Farm Bike Tour. The 9 a.m. start time did not deter nearly 50 students from arriving on Paresky steps, bright-eyed [...]
