Sharp cheese and smart
eggs make the grade
by Lindsey Ward
F
oodies who crave quality goods don't have to look too hard – or
too far – these days.
Rural Manitoba is on the map when it comes to highclass nosh thanks to companies like Bothwell Cheese and
Nature's Farm, which specializes in Smart Eggs.
"We love to hang our hat on the fact that (our cheese) is
a local product," says Bothwell's acting sales manager
Karen Trochim.
"Why wouldn't you support locally? If there's a product
there that you can find right at your back door, why would
we not purchase that product instead of something we
know comes from another province or out of the country?"
Especially when you know what you're getting. Bothwell
cheese, produced 45 minutes southeast of Winnipeg in the
500-person town of New Bothwell, is all natural.
