2012 Sponsors

As most of you know, an awesome ride like this one literally wouldn’t be possible without sponsors (or the registration fee would be truly outrageous!). Especially in the first year, these Sponsors are making all of this possible for you to enjoy… so please let them know that you appreciate them, that you noticed they sponsored, and if you can, give them your business.  It’s all a virtuous cycle, helping build more and better Greenways!
Eventing is huge part of the way we reach out and have fun with all our friends and fans.  Some of the most interesting people we meet are through our Event Sponsorships.  We think Asheville is a lot like we are…the people are innovative, curious, and creative.  We’re proud to support Cycle To Farm!
At Dynamite Roasting Co. we are, quite simply, crazy about coffee!

We work hard at finding the highest quality sustainable beans from around the world and our old-school, small-batch roaster is fired up every day to ensure that our coffee is at its peak flavor when it reaches your cup!

At Dawn Wilson Realty, it’s really not about us. It’s about you, the client.   Our passion is simple: promote and protect the interests of our clients. Buying or selling your home or land often occurs during a life transition, bringing with it both joys and challenges that make life interesting. Our ultimate goal is to make that transition as stress-free as possible.

Cane Creek Cycling Components is proud to support Cycle To Farm because we ride what we make. Our 37-employee family hand-builds all of our shocks and manufactures 100% of our premium headsets right here in Fletcher, North Carolina.

Its our passion and our duty and we hope you’ll join us as we roll through beautiful farmlands enjoying the finest local farm “Rest Stops”!

Liberty Bicycles in Asheville exists to provide an enjoyable, exceptional cycling experience.  And because we believe that bicycling promotes health, mental well-being, enjoyment of the outdoors and opportunities for achievement and competition… we are sponsoring Cycle to Farm!

See us at the Start/Finish if you need help with your bike – we’ll have a mechanic on duty.

Mother Earth Produce is a new and growing family business delivering fresh organic veggies and fruits from local farms in the area straight to your door. Realistically many of us have hectic schedules that aren’t flexible enough to spend time each week visiting farmer’s markets and CSA drops, as much as we’d love to.  Mother Earth Produce solves that problem — you specify what you want (online) and they deliver it!

For Cycle-to-Farm, they are making it possible for you to ride the route, sample the foods, purchase them — and keep riding!  Mother Earth Produce will use their expertise and colorful van to collect your purchases and bring them to the Finish where you can collect them. Awesome!

The Artisan Gourmet Market is honored to be a Gold Sponsor of Cycle-to-Farm since it fits perfectly with our dedication to providing local gourmet foods, along with freshly brewed coffee and local artwork on the walls!  We love to promote local businesses, and we offer more than 25 locally-made foods and drinks, including products from several of the farms featured on the Cycle-to-Farm route.

Pierson Imagery is the official video and photography service for Cycle to Farm, so when you see Larry out on the route snapping images or rolling video footage, keep in mind that he’s donating his services for all the images used for promoting Cycle to Farm.  Thanks Larry!
