"We are in the process of uncovering
the secrets to the Kawartha Lakes
mennonite life."

We have full respect for the Kawartha Lakes mennonite life here. The winters here are harsh and long. Sometimes on a Sunday, when the temperatures are way below 0, we'd wave to the excited young children sitting all snuggled under their blankets in the back of their parents black horse drawn buggy on their way to someone else's home for a church service.

We could only take a photo from the back.
The Mennonites believe that when their photo is taken,
a piece of their spirit is taken.

In the summer time, we'd often see the mennonite men on foot or biking alongside heights road.

Sometimes we are surprised to see their black horse and buggy pass by us on highway 7!

You can always be assured during high season, the mennonite women are selling their goodies on the corner of Pigeon and Dundsford road. Across the road would stand their beautiul black horse grazing in the farmers field.
