3 Day Tour
In a thriving community just west of Guelph and north of Waterloo, a large group of Mennonite people live and work in harmony with the land and their neighbours. Their ways are different, the pace is different, and their lifestyle is dictated by their firmly rooted faith. After visiting this community, some say “interesting”, some say “refreshing” or “fascinating”. Come with us and form your own opinions.
DAY 1 Our travels today take us west to Toronto, our lunch stop and then to our home for two nights right in the heart of Mennonite Country. After check-in, we’ll freshen up ready for dining at Anna Mae’s Restaurant. For those still brimming with energy, you’ll have opportunity to spend some time at the St. Jacob Factory Outlets within walking distance of our hotel. (D)
DAY 2 This morning we’ll take you on a two hour locally guided countryside tour. The Mennonite Farms are easily spotted because of their size and the fact that they’re always mixed farming operations. There are other distinctive defining qualities as well. A visit to this area would not be complete without a visit to Picard Peanuts and time in the village of St. Jacobs to explore the many interesting shops. This evening you’ll have a great time at the St. Jacobs Country Theatre featuring the show called “Country Spelling Bee”. Enjoy dinner at the Stone Crock Restaurant in St Jacob’s before our show. (B, D)
DAY 3 Our first stop of the day will find us at the St Jacob’s & Waterloo Farmers Market and Auction. Plan to have lunch on your own before we leave here today. Its been another interesting day and we depart for Cornwall early this afternoon expecting to be back in Cornwall before dark this evening. (B)
