Good morning, Cedar Rapids.

Yesterday, dozens of cyclists joined Cedar Rapids' first Barn to Farm Bike Ride from Indian Creek Nature Center, taking a 36-mile round-trip route through Cedar Rapids and Hiawatha to Etzel Sugar Grove Farm—where they enjoyed a locally sourced breakfast and live music—while learning about regenerative farming.

On Saturday morning, volunteers at Lake Macbride State Park removed invasive plants as part of the Iowa DNR's Statewide Volunteer Day to help park rangers open up the forest floor for young oaks — easing a tough job in an aging oak-hickory woodland.

Fareway Cooking’s new segment shows Cedar Rapids residents that healthy eating can be cost-effective by highlighting grocery items under $5—like sweet potatoes, bananas, and frozen broccoli—and offering tips such as buying in bulk and using store-brand products.
