Summer 2008

There is still time!

If you have not yet made the trip to Prince Edward County this summer, don't despair! There is still lots of time! And while you are visiting our many wineries, the new Art's Trail or just enjoying the beach at Sandbanks, make sure to visit our little dairy as well! We have been open now for several weeks and have been thrilled with the response to our cheese and the sheer number of visitors to our dairy! Thank you all for your support for FT, small scale dairying in Ontario, sustainable entreprise and most of all, our great tasting cheese!
