Taste Real is offering its second annual spring Wellington Rural Romp on May 26.
Find the story behind the food, enjoy the first tastes of spring and get ready for growing. The themes for the Romp are Gardens Delight and Tastes of Spring.
About 14 farms, markets, gardens and restaurants in Mapleton, Minto and Wellington North will open their doors to offer self-guided tours.
Participants can take part in a day in the countryside, meet local farmers and enjoy real taste and experience agricultural education, guided tours, and children’s activities.
Participants can frolic with baby animals, learn more about local community shared agriculture, buy heirloom tomato seedlings or browse and experience unique rural gardens and learn how to grow produce.
Participants are encouraged to share photos and videos from the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/tastereal.
Prizes will be awarded for the best photo in three different categories: farmscapes, family fun and food.
The sixth annual fall Wellington Rural Romp, occurs on the last Saturday of September.
