Pop-Ups
Geoff Heinricks at the Saturday Wellington Farmers’ Market. There are lots of options to keep you fed and fueled at the Wellington Market, but Geoff’s “stall” is well worth a stop. He’s built a little wood-fired cave and attached it to a trailer. From the time the market opens until well after the other vendors are packing up, Geoff and his trusty assistants are slinging pizzas topped with fresh, local ingredients.
Up in Smoke is Prince Edward County’s original wood-fired pizza fire truck. Sniff out this magnificent 1984 Pierce Arrow at local events around The County.
