“How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year”
William Shakespeare – Sonnet 97

Winter is upon us early this year at Chetwyn Farms. The alpaca love the early snowfall and colder temperatures after a long, hot and humid summer.



We look forward to the winter too - And holidays in the SHED – where we have created an alpaca farm experience like no other! Shop locally and ethically - with meaning this Christmas. Enjoy our curated collection of alpaca and alpaca related products.


For cold weather days choose from locally knit mittens & gloves, scarves, cowls, toques and hats. Keep warm and cozy on winter nights with a retro-hot water bottle or wrapped in a luxurious throw.  Make a fashion statement with wraps, capes and chunky knit sweaters.

Remember the feathered friends this winter with a unique selection of fleece feeders and bird-seed holiday ornaments. Keep gardeners happy with our “SHED-SHIT”, gardeners soap and seed-packs expressly created for us based on our square foot gardening technique here on the farm.



An expanded collection of local maple syrup, jams, jellies, preserves & marmalade’s, bee’s-wax candles and a mouth-watering collection of chocolate from SOMA Chocolatiers. All waiting for you in our relaxed and peaceful farm setting.


Our farm and shop close for the 2018 season as of December 16th – re-opening spring 2019. If you can’t visit us here, on-line orders are shipped up to December 15th and we make guest appearances at several Holiday Markets in Prince Edward County including the Drake Devonshire Market on Saturday December 1 and Busy Hands Saturday & Sunday December 8th & 9th.

The “POP-UP” SHED is open in December at the Festival Players Studio Theatre in downtown Wellington. A portion of proceeds from sales will be donated to Festival Players – our professional theatre company in Prince Edward County.
