Prince Edward County has a different rhythm once summer has passed. The roads grow quieter, the light changes, and there is more time to linger over a meal, a walk or something made close to home.

We’re pleased that visitors can now discover a selection of Chetwyn Farms products at The Royal Hotel in Picton. The Royal’s lobby boutique brings together work from County artists and producers, and it feels like a natural place for a little of our farm to find its way into town.

Alpaca belongs to the quieter seasons. As the air cools, its softness and warmth become part of the pleasure of being here, whether you’re settling in for a few days or taking a piece of the County home with you. Our collection at The Royal offers guests a connection to the animals grazing on our farm outside Wellington and to the care behind the pieces we make and choose.

For us, that connection is part of what makes an object worth keeping. It carries a sense of place, a story to share, and the pleasure of bringing something thoughtful into everyday life. It is a thread that runs through our story at Chetwyn Farms, from raising alpacas to welcoming visitors into the SHED.

We’ve always loved the way a visit to the County can move between places: a morning in Picton, an afternoon along a country road, perhaps a stop at the SHED to browse the shop and view the alpacas from the fence lines. This partnership gives visitors another way to encounter Chetwyn Farms, even as the farm shop moves into its quieter season.

If you’re staying at The Royal, look for us in the lobby boutique. And if our alpaca pieces make you curious about their origins, we’d be delighted to welcome you to the farm when the SHED is open.

Plan your visit to Chetwyn Farms for current visiting information. No encounter booking is needed to browse the shop, view the alpacas from the fence lines or explore the SHED Studio exhibition.
