A new Northumberland farmgate guide

This morning I attended the launch of Northumberland County's new farm guide book. Local farmers, restaurateurs, and representatives from local government met at Cobourg's Northside restaurant. This year the guide also features area restaurants that use Northumberland products on their menus. It was great to reconnect with some of our favorite local farmers, producers and I also meet with some new faces in agriculture as well. If you would like to get your hands on a copy of the guide please get in touch with Northumberland County Economic Development & Tourism, 555 Courthouse Road, Cobourg, ON K9A 5J6, Tel: (905) 372-0144

Taste Northumberland, A new dining room feature

Over the past few years, farmers, and food producers in Northumberland County have organized themselves to create local awareness of where they are and what they produce. Last year, they put out an excellent guide called the Proudly Northumberland Farm Gate Guide. 

If you want a copy for yourself go http://www.northumberlandcounty.ca/ag_highspeed.asp After looking at the guide, we were very impressed with what we saw, and have decided to feature more local produce on our menu here at the Woodlawn. The selections of Taste Northumberland will change often.
