Butter Tarts and Buggies: Explore the Simpler Life is a new tourism experience developed in partnership with the Minto, Southgate and Wellington North.
The experience combines the Butter Tart Trail with the Mennonite culture of the former Horse and Buggy Trail. The new trail promotes butter tart bakers, butter tart inspired items and related products including maple syrup.
Explore Mennonite cultural offerings, local food at the farm, restaurants, retail stores, local handcrafted items and the equine industry.
Visitors will enjoy an old fashioned Mennonite horse and buggy ride through a working Mennonite farm and along scenic back roads.
There are numerous farm experiences that include alpaca shearing, wagon rides and the opportunity to visit friendly critters.
The tastes will amaze you with dozens of varieties of butter tarts and inspired products like pies, sundaes, trifle and waffles. There are even special butter tart doggy treats locally made and sourced.
Talented local artist works will awe visitors.
Butter Tarts and Buggies: Explore the Simpler Life new brochure will be available on May 28th in conjunction with the Taste Real Spring Wellington Rural Romp (www.tastereal.ca) – a self-guided tour of farms, markets and local food retailers.
