Here’s where our ride goes off track (literally): we left the aid station and apparently must have missed signage at some point, because we got lost. At the aid station they also had cheese and crackers, some bars, gatorade – and they were making fresh brick oven pizza using cheese from the local creamery! It was so tasty. The first of three aid stations was at mile 16, and it was definitely welcome at that point! I was thirsty (it was about 90 degrees out) and looking forward to refilling my water bottle. The course was definitely hilly but it was actually not nearly as bad as I had mentally made it out to be in my head! (I wanted to but I know nothing about foraging and didn’t want to accidentally poison myself). We saw cows and horses, tons of vegetable crops, and even saw one of the riders pause on the side of the road to eat a few wild raspberries. The first 16 miles of our ride were wonderful – beautiful scenery with lots of farmland. I am slightly claustrophobic and not the most graceful rider (aka I would probably cause a mass accident, haha) so Terry and I waited it out nice and calmly on the side until everyone else had passed the start. The ride is a mass start, with all the riders beginning at the same time. 😉 And the director delayed the start by about 15 minutes to make sure everyone had enough time to check in and get situated. Thankfully my husband did that while I waited with the bikes. It actually wasn’t too bad distance wise, but walking back to the car after check in (to put swag bags away) was straight up hill. I was glad we did because parking was a bit far from check in. We got there about an hour before the start. The ride was scheduled to start at 8:30am, which I felt like was a good time – not too early that you had to get up before sunrise, but not so late that you were waiting around or anything. I must have asked my husband about 20 times what to do, before I finally just told my inner self to shut up and stick with what I signed up for. I knew the 36 mile ride would have about 1600 feet of climbing and I wasn’t used to that. Even though this wasn’t a race, I was feeling super nervous all weekend! I kept looking over the course map, and wondering if I should drop to the 12 miler because of the problems with my foot and the lack of hill riding. My family and I headed back to NY on Friday afternoon, giving us some time to enjoy the weekend with family and friends before the ride. Here’s my Farm to Fork Fondo review & recap… It definitely lived up to my expectations. I was so excited to have partnered up with Wrenegade Sports to help promote this event, and couldn’t wait to go participate this past weekend. Farm-fresh treats at aid stations?

This way, you are always excited and hooked to keep continue playing the game.

Farm to fork game review series#
Other than that, again, similar to the Farm Frenzy series there is a truck which deliver your products to the town in exchange for money and a flying parrot bird which can be captured by rapid-clicking. You can shop for new machines and upgraded versions of them in the market – they are usually required to continue to the next level. After you collect the raw products, you put them into machines and turn them into more valuable products from simple ones like Salad, Bread, Noodles to high-end ones like Soup, Steak and Burgers. As always, you can queue up and upgrade each machine if you feel the need to. Firstly, you grow what, vegetables and pigs in the farm zone on the right side of your screen. The gameplay of Farm to Fork reminds us a little of the Farm Frenzy series but it is fresh enough to distinguish itself from that classic franchise. This goes the same for the audio side of the game, the background music is lively and fairly catchy which goes well with the active feel of the game. Farm to Fork has fantastic graphics, pleasant beautiful colors, nice characters, good animations and suitable visual effects. The title can sound cruel when you really think about it, still, the game is as cute as the developers can make it. Well, Farm to Fork is all about what the title might have suggested grow food and feed animals and turn them into manufactured food.
