Gourmet Food Trucks & Farm Fresh To-Go

Posted on Tuesday, February 09, 2021 10:57 AM

Food and Drink

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 Kartâ„¢. 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

Posted on Sunday, January 05, 2020 02:02 PM

Culture

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

Posted on Sunday, December 08, 2019 05:14 PM

Outdoors

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...

Shelter Valley Cycling Route

Posted on Sunday, August 04, 2019 09:44 PM

Outdoors

This loop offers a diverse cycling challenge; it’s low in vehicular traffic and high on being bicycle friendly. Further north the elevation brings you to new vistas and even through some dense forested areas.

Beginning eastbound out of Cobourg, you’re on the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail. At Lakeshore Road you’ll be taking in views of Lake Ontario beyond fields of apple blossoms or fruit-filled orchards, depending on the time of year you’re travelling.

Rice Lake Ramble Cycling Route

Posted on Sunday, July 07, 2019 04:46 PM

Outdoors

I can’t think of a nicer time of the year to enjoy nature’s changing colours than on a bike in October. Sunny, temperature of 13, moderate winds – but oh the hills! I’m in my senior year, so I take the hills slowly and don’t let them intimidate me.

This route begins at Lake Ontario with views of Rice Lake halfway along. Starting from the municipal parking lot on Albert Street (between Second Street and Division Street) in Cobourg, I headed east on County Road 2 to Brookside Road. Signs for the Ramble...
