On Saturday, September 13, the NKBA | KBIS team, including staff, family, and friends, embraced the beautiful weather and scenic countryside of Blairstown, New Jersey, for the annual Tour de Farm. This family-run cycling event, led by Sara Morrison with the support of her father Mitch Morrison, offered a day filled with sunshine, rolling hills, and authentic farm-to-table experiences.
Participants had the option to choose from three challenges: a competitive timed race, a 45-mile scenic loop, or a 22-mile ride. NKBA | KBIS Global President and CEO Bill Darcy impressively conquered the 45-mile route, while Vice President of Operations and KBIS Deb Webb and Senior Manager Global and Government Relations Steven Campeau tackled the 22-mile loop.
Other members of the group drove along the route, meeting riders at each farm stop. “A HUGE thank you to the riders and especially to all of you who sacrificed your Saturday to support us, many driving far distances,” Darcy said. “And special thanks to Global Events Manager Alex Porto and Executive Administration Manager Rania Hanna for organizing this great day. We very much appreciate all of you supporting wellness at NKBA!”
