Mennonite Country, St, Jacobs, ON



Don't I look cool?



Doing business with a Mennonite woman



Horse and Buggy, the primary mode of transportation for a Mennonite family



My sister posing at St. Jacobs Farmer's Market, where you can get homemade sausage, maple syrop, lots of meats and cheese, and freshly grown Ontario produce.



Yes, they even use horses to farm



Playing Baseball during recess



We accidentally cut this woman off as she was entering her driveway.



A Mennonite Church, complete with an unmarked cemetery



Little Mennonite Children in a wagon



A Mennonite Barnraising. This is a church/community event. As we passed by, you could see the women and children scurrying about the yard, preparing lunch for the men, working on the barn. The yard was full of buggy's, and a sense of community was evident, even from the road.

And to think this is only 15 mins to the north of Waterloo...
