Horowhenua Taste Trail is back for another year and we are excited to announce the producers on the trail this year which includes some of last years favourite stops plus a couple of new ones to try out along the way.
Producers on the 2017 Horowhenua Taste Trail include Woodys Free Range Farm, Turks Poultry, Woodhaven Gardens, Levin Eels, Thoroughbread Foods, Tendertips Asparagus, Genoese Pesto, RJ's Licorice, and Bagrie Dairy Farm.
Ms Lewis says each stop is working to improve the offering to ensure the event is even more tastier. “It will definitely be an adventure not to be missed.
“Horowhenua offers some of the best produce in the country and we want to share it - and show it off! Make sure you save the date and tell your friends that the Taste Trail is back!"
The event welcomes people of all ages, and is family friendly. Tickets will be on sale late September. Anyone wishing to join in the Trail can find out more information at our website www.tastetrail.o.nz or on our Facebook Page @horowhenuatastetrail
