When you think of a blacksmith, I'm sorry but you probably think of a "guy."
A guy with big arms like cedar posts. I'm sure you don't envision Pauline
Golebski, a teeny little thing from Omemee who is indeed a blacksmith, and
an accomplished one at that. Her company, Middle Earth Iron Art, offers hand
forged home and garden furniture, objects of art and custom designs. Have a
look at Pauline's portfolio online at www.middleearthironart.com or call 705-292-5844.
Jason McIntosh is a Beef Farmer, and like many farmers he "works out", which doesn't mean he goes to the Y to lift weights, it means he has a daytime job. In Jason's case that job is the Rural Routes store at the Co-op on Lansdowne Street. Jason is a real entrepreneur when it comes to selling his beef, and his latest venture is a freezer full of it at the Coop. You can buy everything from steaks to Sheppard's pie, and it's all locally grown beef - Kawartha Choice. For details you can give Jason a call at 705-743-7417.
