Your PEC Farm Experience Awaits

Located in Prince Edward County, Chetwyn Farms brings together alpacas, natural fibres, and thoughtful craft. Stop by the SHED shop during opening hours, view the alpacas from the paddock fence lines, and explore the SHED Studio exhibition. No encounter booking is needed for a walk-in shop visit.

What to Experience

Walk-In Visits & Seasonal Alpaca Encounters

A walk-in visit lets you browse the shop, view alpacas from the fence lines, and explore the studio exhibition during opening hours. It does not include access inside the paddocks or a guided farm tour.

Guided Daily Alpaca Encounters have finished for the 2026 season. These are separate, seasonal booked experiences. Subscribe to our newsletter for future booking announcements; next season's dates, pricing, and availability will be confirmed when announced.

Hands-On Workshops Exclusively for Subscribers

Our workshop programme offers opportunities to explore fibre arts and traditional crafts, exclusively for our subscribers. Workshops are separate from walk-in visits and require advance booking when available. Subscribe to our newsletter for announcements and booking details as dates are confirmed. Subscription does not guarantee a place.

Farm Stays

For a longer County visit, enquire about a stay at the cottage. Cottage bookings remain available during the seasonal public farm closure, subject to availability. Accommodation availability and any included activities should be confirmed before booking; an alpaca encounter is not automatically included.

Alpaca Products & Thoughtfully Sourced Goods

Browse alpaca socks, blankets, yarn, and boutique accessories. Our collection includes yarn made from our own herd's fibre alongside goods from Canadian and international makers. Not every item is made on the farm or from Chetwyn Farms fibre. Please see individual product descriptions for materials and origin details.
