Send us Fan MailIt was in summer of 2019 that Susanne started to wonder, just how many tarts her staff at the Crazy 8 Barn had sold since starting to make them in the fall of 2013. She scoured through seven years of month end reports and realized they had made 32,000 tarts.  Production had started at a few dozen in the first year, more than a thousand in the second year and then their reputation for the "best buttertarts in the world" exploded.At that point in 2019 she estimated that it would be close, but wondered could they sell their 50,000th tart by the end of the year?  Join her and her former café staff has they struggle to maintain their strength and determination to reach a big, buttertart goal.What could be more Canadian?If you would like to receive my weekly Saturday morning email that contains my original stories, Canadian book recommendation, new barn quilt design and a recipe or cycling route (depending on the season), sign up here. Follow me on Facebook and InstagramMy website to join in our barn quilt painting experiences is www.crazy8barn.com
