HLWW ISD 2687 Community Education

Co-sponsored with Community Club Tours.

A favorite tour, and if you’ve ever been to Starland, the reason is obvious. The greenhouse will be open! The tour has highlights of Winthrop and lots of time with the Hutterites. Begin with an included coffee, juice and roll at Hahn’s Dining in Winthrop and then spend some time browsing at Winthrop Mercantile which has a multitude of antiques for your reminiscing pleasure… The Lavender Boutique offers women’s apparel and accessories including purses and shoes; gift items including baby items, kitchen supplies, coffee and honey. Jypsy Sisters Boutique features handmade boutique where you can shop from 28+ artists all in one place… jewelry, goat milk soap, rag rugs, canned goods, pure maple syrup, sewn items, clothing, essential oil items, baby gifts and more.)

Then it’s time for Starland, the area home of the Hutterian Brethren. Time will be allowed to learn about these folks and also for casual browsing and shopping. Bring your questions! The Hutterites are a religious group originating in 1528 during the Reformation. They live communally in rural North America. Learn about their unique lifestyle, religion, customs, traditions, and history; how they earn their living; what they do in their leisure time; and enjoy an included family style dinner. You will have the opportunity to purchase items they produce at Starland. Finally, we’ll stop for included Blue Bunny Ice Cream at Corner Pizza in Winthrop.
