Old Order Mennonite horse-drawn wagon
Get your maple syrup here!
This time of year, Old Order Mennonite farmers can be seen parked by the side of the roads in Southwestrn Ontario. The farmers sell maple syrup - sap gathered from maple trees in spring and then boiled into the sweet syrup.

That top one would make a great Ruby Tuesday post, too! Wonderful shots of the Mennonite farm area. Reminds me of the Amish country in and around Lancaster, PA.
ReplyDeleteUm-um, would I love to have some of that maple syrup! A bit tastier than the sorghum molasses my grandmother used to make.
ReplyDeleteI love this photo!
Wonderful world you live in, thanks for sharing and the farm and house in the background are fantastic also.
ReplyDeleteI've often seen the sign and buggies, but the wagon is a first for me. I'll bet that maple syrup is delicious.
ReplyDeleteI'd be standing in line to buy some of that maple syrup. Great photo.

ReplyDeleteOh, yes! I would love some of that maple syrup, too! Really interesting post and great captures. I've seen the buggies, too, but this is the first time to see that kind of wagon.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

Are the pancakes ready?
ReplyDeleteThat certainly is unuasal! Look at that yellow sign, how cool.
ReplyDeleteHave an excellent week! :)
Love the photo. Not much of a maple syrup on my waffle or pancake type of person but I love it on coffee.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to be my turn to have my pancake with maple syrup. The line is long.lol
ReplyDeleteNice photos of the farm.
Pancake breakfast with syrup are one of my favorite meals. I could have it for dinner too.
ReplyDeletePancakes with maple syrup for breakfast or dinner, YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a site you won't see in my neighborhood. :)
ReplyDeletemy very first time to see that car,thanks for sharing though we always have maple syrup here in taiwan directly came from canada,i seldom use it not even on my coffee.
ReplyDeleteGreat sign. I've never seen one like it before.

Do the syrup last a year until next year?
ReplyDeletewhat a great post, slice of life, eh! I bet that maple syrup is tasty!
ReplyDeleteThe color of your photo even looks so vintage!
ReplyDeleteMaple syrup...I remember the movie Rain Man, with Dustin Hoffman, he only wants maple syrup, and that's what I want for my pancakes too!
Maple syrup...now I want breakfast for dinner! The Mennonite farm area must be fascinating to visit. Wonderful photos and post.
ReplyDeleteNeat post, EG. That is a really neat wagon---almost looks like a funeral Wagon. My Father-in-law was a Mennonite but he said he backed away. His brother still went to the local Mennonite Church out here until his death. Very interesting. MB
ReplyDeleteThe mention of Maple Syrup is tempting. :) Local dishes are always a delight.
ReplyDeletecool shots! what a great neighborhood you live in!
ReplyDeleteInteresting, have never seen one before. Must be better for the environment than the Hummer.
ReplyDeleteJust fabulous! I love that first photo.
ReplyDeleteYum! This is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that I haven't seen a maple tree in over ten years.
One large bottle of maple syrup for me too! Interesting post. YUM!
ReplyDeletewow it's cool! I would love to try this vintage wagon some day.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture!

to heck with the diet. too good to miss!
ReplyDeleteEG: We have a lot of those small buggies in the surrounding area. Neat photos.
ReplyDeleteWe have Amish around here, also....I love seeing their farms. Everything is usually so neat and tidy.
ReplyDeleteI want to expirience a baggie ride sometimes.
ReplyDeleteMy World Tuesday
nice photo from days long gone :)
ReplyDeleteNB the syrup is really good. :)
How lucky you are to be able to buy this syrup!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that sign is so charming.
ReplyDeleteSuch a picturesque setting. We have a large Amish community here, too, but I've never seen a "bus" buggy before.
ReplyDeleteOh real maple syrup! Yum! I love the sign - we have buggies too in Lancaster PA.
ReplyDeleteGood post. I love that part of Ontario. We're going to Ottawa next month, for grandchild #2. When I come home I will be taking the bus from Ottawa => Peterborough. You just can't get there from there to here ! This is a big province.
ReplyDeleteLove the road sign. Better watch out if a runaway horse and buggy minus driver careers across your path. :)
ReplyDeleteIn Canada we used to buy our maple syrup by the gallon straight off the farm. Now, in far away Australia, we already have our supply of new season's maple sugar candy put by for christmas,
I've never had "real" maple syrup that I can recall. I bet it's yummy!
