Whenever Yvette gets to leave her home on Martin Littkemann and Lori Smith's 350-acre farm north of Trenton, it's to promote the cheese (mainly mozzarella and ricotta) that's made from her herd's rich, white milk.
Fifth Town Artisan Cheese Becomes Greenest Dairy in N.A.
Fifth Town is powered, in part, by a windmill, as well as eight solar panels that feed energy onto the grid (Ontario Hydro pays $300 a month for the power generated). Most dairies age their cheese in above-ground, power-intensive fridges, but Fifth Town is equipped with man-made cement caves that remain cool naturally...
Trading Textbooks for Triple Creme
(Fortune Magazine) Petra Cooper left her job as president of McGraw-Hill Ryerson Higher Education (then a $47 million unit of McGraw-Hill) to start Fifth Town Artisan Cheese. A foodie and a regular visitor to Prince Edward County, a weekend retreat a few hours from Toronto on Lake Ontario, she got the idea after learning the island had 19 wineries but no artisanal dairies.
Cheese maker comes of age with energy-smart dairy
The windmill is the first clue. The eight solar panels on the roof are another. A visitor to Fifth Town Artisan Cheese Co. in Prince Edward County, Ont., quickly realizes this is no ordinary dairy.

‘In 2007, Petra Cooper left a big-city job in the publishing industry to start up Fifth Town Artisan Cheese Co., a niche cheese producer near small-town Picton, Ont. While networking with local sheep and goat farmers to discuss new farming techniques and negotiate milk prices may sound like an antiquated way to spend the work day, her investment may reflect the future of rural Canada’s prosperity...'

Local cheese judges' choice
Those inclined to believe Fifth Town Artisan Cheese's strong showing at last year's Royal Agricultural Winter Fair was a case of beginner's luck have reason to think again.

Empire earns a first and two seconds at Toronto
Empire cheese has had another successful year at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, placing in the top three of four different cheddar categories.

COUNTY CHEESE PROGRAM:EASTERN ONTARIO'S CHEESE PRODUCERS WANT A BIGGER PIECE OF THE WHEEL.
Eastern Ontario's cheese producers want a bigger piece of the wheel. Or at least that's the plan as four Eastern Ontario Counties have joined forces to create a "cheese investment strategy". The amalgamated effort should strengthen the existing local industry.
Cheese makers don't stand alone
A "cheese investment strategy" to help cheese makers and farmers get established in a market that's expected to grow from $300 million to $400 million in the next decade, is the first step in a co-operative program involving about 30 cheese makers from Lennox and Addington, Frontenac, Hastings and Prince Edward Counties.
Will cheese be the new wine for Eastern Ontario?
You have to love cheese, says Petra Cooper. You have to be able to jump through hoops, says Bruce Vandenburg. You have to be willing to take a chance, adds Martin Littkemann.
Four counties say cheese at networking event
Helping area cheese makers network was the first step in an ongoing initiative to help Hastings and three other counties showcase the region's artisan cheese industry.
