The Wellington Rural Romp is your chance to get up close to your food.
On Sept. 29, experience a day in the countryside, meet local farmers, eat, learn about food and experience agriculture’s bounty.
The self-guided tour allows families to see their county and the agriculture that surrounds it, with stops in Aberfoyle, Elora, Fergus, Erin, Guelph-Eramosa and Rockwood.
Visitors will have a chance to experience a local winery, meet alpacas, ostriches and elk, sample local honey and visit locations such as a potato farm, a farm with a bakery, gardens and see everything from pigs and cows, to sheep.
A new special guided Romp Tour is also available with Red Car Service.
Retail stores featuring local produce and preserved foods will also be included.
At each location, you will find farmers and business owners who are passionate about bringing real taste and local food to you.
The event includes a photo contest of the experience.
