Magical Places for Great Take-Away
Posted on Tuesday, February 09, 2021 01:47 PM
The south shore of Rice Lake in Northumberland County is all about the drive for me. I love stumbling upon historical hamlets, world class resorts, and seeing stunning views. I urge you to take detours at every chance. It’s magical to stumble upon new and remarkable places in your own backyard.
In season, you can find farm gates filled with produce. The signs for fresh beef, lamb and chicken are all around as well. It’s also home to a lot of grain farming, including organic producer, Loon Song...
Take-Out Comfort Food with Charm on the Side

On our drive through Trent Hills, we discovered that Warkworth is home to about 600 of the world’s luckiest people. In the small stretch of downtown in this charming arts community, you can get some of the best pizza, world-class chocolate and beautiful, locally-roasted coffee beans.
Just up County Rd. 30 in Campbellford, there are a few more folks, but a similar abundance of food and drink choices. You’ll find unforgettable hardwood-fired pizza, “Canada’s Best Bakery”, and award-winning beer...
Gourmet Food Trucks & Farm Fresh To-Go

I spent a lot of my youth playing baseball and hockey in the Grafton, Colborne & Brighton areas. I was always intimidated. The kids seemed stronger. My guess is because they were helping out on the farm while me and my friends were working on mastering Mario Kart™. I get nostalgic when I drive through these areas now. But I’ve learned so much about the region in my adult years – and about strong farm families.
This is farm country. Apple orchards line the country roads and open-air...
Celebrate Father's Day in Style

Father's Day has to start off perfectly and that means dad sleeps in while mom (and maybe some willing kids?) make him breakfast with market fresh eggs and bread from a local farmers' market. This is a fantastic time of year to shop for local food - Farmers' Markets are plentiful on Saturday mornings in Cobourg, Port Hope, Hastings, Codrington and Campbellford. Sunny side up with whole grain toast sounds like a great way to start the day.
The next question is, what will dad be opening as a special...
Suspension Bridge Thrills

Open year round, the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge in Campbellford is part of the The Great Trail (formerly the Trans Canada Trail). This is the longest recreational trail in the world.
In the area of 15 Trent Drive, Campbellford, there are many opportunities to park near the Trent-Severn Waterway (TSW) Locks 11 and 12. Walk over the TSW swing bridge where you’ll see signage for the Suspension Bridge (pedestrian only access; no fee). This is the west entrance to the bridge on Ontario Hydro...
