Local honey sale!
For sale: recently harvested honey that the Bee Farm colonies created from nectar collected from Summer flowers. The honey tastes distinctively different from the honey created from nectar collected from Spring flowers. The Summer honey has a distinctive buttery-nutty flavor, probably due to the wild fennel.

Excelsior Sunday Streets
You love to bike, and now you're a parent -- or pregnant? Do you need to stop biking? How long can you bike while pregnant? When can you begin biking with your baby or toddler? Is it safe? What kind of seat should you get? Is your bike baby- or toddler-ready?
Register for this (free) class to learn the medically reviewed facts about biking while pregnant and with a baby and/or toddler, as well as tips and tricks. Meet other parents and parents-to-be who want to bike. This class is funded in part by the SFMTA, SFCTA and Kaiser Permanente. eventbrite.com/
If you'd like to teach your child how to ride a bike, we offer Freedom from training Wheels programs at Sunday Streets. And, if your child(ren) are already riding and ready to learn how to bike to school together, we offer an On-Road with your Family course, as well! From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday Streets will be transforming the Excelsior into an open space for people to walk, run, skip, jump, bike, and play. The SF Bicycle Coalition will be teaching our Freedom from Training Wheels workshop, and we'll have a Service Station at the event as well offering free air for your tires.
