To highlight and support the symbiotic relationship between everyday athletes, farmers, and beautiful landscapes. 

A Message From Our Founder

Tyler Wren here, founder of the Farm to Fork Fitness Adventures® series. When I retired from my 13 years of professional cycling I wanted to do something meaningful, something that would allow me to share some of the best parts of my fitness career with the world in a way that could have a positive social impact, while still being just plain fun. I've ridden my bike thousands and thousands of miles worldwide and I've always cherished the days when I find myself rolling along on beautiful, quiet country roads. Sadly, like many who love these charming places, I've realized that peaceful rural landscapes and lonely country roads are endangered species.

As athletes, it is natural for us to support landowners who preserve the open space that we enjoy so much on our bicycles and on our fitness adventures. These landowners use that land to grow food that can make us better athletes and healthier people. With the Farm to Fork Fitness Adventure series, I want people to experience beautiful iconic farmland through exercise, meet the hardworking farmers who are fighting the good fight, learn about the pressures that these farms face, and have a great time in the process.

Supporting Farm Community Fund, our charitable arm whose mission is to foster vital farms, open spaces, and resilient communities, is another way to make sure that these spaces are here for future athletes to experience. The money raised by Farm Community Fund becomes project grants to support local agricultural initiatives. Thousands of dollars are given to support the rural host communities throughout the year and after every Farm to Fork Fondo. Whether it is helping a farm build a new farm stand or launch a website, or a community organization preserve the area’s beautiful pastoral open space, or cultivating a love of being outdoors among the youth of a community, Farm to Fork Fitness Adventures® and the Farm Community Fund are all about giving back and paying it forward.
