Petra Cooper is relishing her second career. The former publishing executive is already an award-winning cheese producer as founder and CEO of Fifth Town Artisan Cheese Company and Fifth Town Productions, both branches of a company she incorporated in 2002. She says she moved to Prince Edward County with her husband and young daughter for a country lifestyle and the abundant business opportunities. The company has won international recognition for not only its cheese products but its remarkable building. Fifth Town opened the doors to its very own LEED certified factory in the spring of 2008. It is the first certified platinum LEED manufacturing facility in Canada and the first dairy in North America with the certification.
