Entry Guidelines

Entries must embody the spirit of the event. Tour d’Coop promotes sustainable, local food sources and humane animal care while raising money for Urban Ministries of Wake County. Tour d’Coop began as a way for a few neighbors to show off their hens and coops while highlighting the benefits of urban farming and back yard poultry. More than ten years later, Tour d’Coop has grown into a one-day garden tour that encompasses more than 20 coops and thousands of visitors.

Highlights of this family friendly event include:

  • Self-guided, eco-friendly BIKE ROUTE through downtown Raleigh coops
  • A HIVE HIKE, which showcases homes with active bee hives for Tour visitors
  • The COOP CARNIVAL, which takes place at Urban Ministries’ main roost off Capital Blvd and features animal demonstrations, community partners, food trucks, craft beer and wine, live music, and more!
  • Find out more about Tour d’Coop here!

Tour d’Coop is truly a celebration of community and all things local.
