Rooted in Peterborough and The Kawarthas: Embracing Local Landscapes, Foods, and Ecosystems

At The Orange Corners Boil, we cultivate a deep respect for the local ecology, natural spaces, and food systems. Our mission is to connect our community with native and adapted plants, small-batch goods, and practical knowledge. We aim to nurture a lifestyle grounded in nature’s rhythms while sharing educational experiences that empower sustainable choices and celebrate local heritage.

Who We Are

And why we do what we do…

The Campbell-Frasers are:

Donald

A writer, multi-media producer, and Public Relations consultant, Donald’s work has seen him promoting both environmental sustainability and local food for three decades, including as owner/host of the Farm to Table PeterboroughCulinary Tours, pioneering Communications Manager for GreenUP/Ecology Park, and through local, national, and international media outlets.

He grows native things. And the odd fruit.

Krista

A secondary school teacher with a Masters in Environmental Science, Krista brings the message of sustainability into her relationship with all her students. She was first ever staff member of Trent University’s rooftop garden, former chair of the Trent Vegetable Gardens, and former GreenUP environmental educator.

She grows tasty things.

Clara

Joy in change
