The Foodie File: Chèvre, Camber – Ewe, Lamb Chops and More
Looking for an excursion on a Sunday afternoon? Act like a chef and check out your local farm communities. A revived interest in quality food and back-to-the-earth techniques has brought about a resurgence in niche farming and artisan producers of farm products.
We had a great experience visiting Katie and Phillip Wilman on their family goat farm, River’s Edge Goat Dairy (www.GoatMilkProducts.ca), where they have a small herd of goats and produce delicious yogurt and cheese, as well as handmade soap.
At Shepard’s Watch Sheep Dairy (suave@wightman.ca), we sampled many cheeses including their own invention, Camber-Ewe, and took home delicious lamb steaks that we grilled on the BBQ for dinner. They also had beautiful blankets made from the sheep’s wool from their own flock for sale.My trip to North Wellington County in Ontario turned out to be a fun day in the country with my family and I ended up with a delicious booty to take home!
Happy food travels,
Christine
