Spotlight: New Shop Chasing the Cheese Is A Cheesy Delight

/

Chasing the Cheese is a new cheese shop that recently opened up in Peterborough at 372 Water Street. Julie Austin started the business from her home with select artisan cheeses that were outside of the norm, but felt that to take things to the next level she needed to open her own store downtown.

Julie's cheese selection—and clientele—had been flourishing for a couple years before she decided to open the store on Water Street. Initially, it was a cheesemaking course that sparked her curiosity about all things cheese, and she found that even though there are basically only four basic ingredients in cheese, there are hundreds of outcomes. Presently her shop carries numerous kinds: Thunder Oak Gouda, Salt Spring Fresh Chevre and Maple Dale 7yr Cheddar, to name a few. Most of the cheeses are local or Made in Canada.

Sampling the various cheeses is a real pleasure, whether it's the unique taste or the way it dissolves on your tongue. Pop in today for a sampling, and let your senses guide you to a cheese that you wouldn't be able to find in your local grocery store.

Chasing the Cheese has the following hours:

Tue & Wed: 11 to 5

Thu & Fri: 11 to 7

Sat: 10 to 5

Sun & Mon: Closed

Take a Hike Peterborough

/

With the fall colours in full bloom, a long weekend fast approaching—and in honour of this being Ontario Hiking Week—it is time to think about going out on a hike with friends and family.

Here in the Patch, we have some gems:

Jackson Park offers a 4.2k trail that stretches past a playground, picnic tables, a creek, numerous benches, a large pond and a beautiful pagoda bridge. Located North of Parkhill Road, Jackson Park has three entrances. One is on Fairbairn Street, the second is on Bonacord Street and the third is on Ackison Road.

 

Mark S. Burnham Park has a double-loop trail that is 2.3k long. There is a big shelter for larger gatherings, a washroom and only one hill on the 1.4k loop. There are plenty of trail signs with interesting little Peterborough factoids about the park itself. Mark S. Burnham park is located on Highway 7 East.

 

 

 

Trent Nature Areas and Promise Rock Nature Area Trail are both off Nassau Mills Road near Trent University. The Trent Nature Areas have Red, Yellow and Blue trails all offering different lengths and difficulty. Promise Rock Nature Trail is a 2.4k trail that runs between the Otonabee River and an abandoned railway. 

 


For a list of trails near Peterborough, visit the Ontario Trails Council or Hike Ontario.
