Forest Cove Alpacas and Country Market is one of the host sites as part of the Farms Open event this weekend. Owner Breanna Graham says they started with six and now have 26 alpacas at the farm.
Graham says they just welcomed a baby alpaca last weekend which you can see.
The owner of Forest Cove Alpacas says they usually sheer the animals in May before it gets too hot. Once the fleece is off, Graham says it’s turned into a variety of items that are available in store.
Forest Cove Alpacas and Country Market is located on Highway 17 outside of Chalk River. The farm will have light snacks provided along with demonstrations and tours to see the alpacas.
There are nine host sites for the first Farms Open event in Renfrew County including Forest Colve Alpacas, Calabogie Rustic Farm & Market, Alder Creek Farm, Mapleside Sugarbush, Forest Cove Alpacas, Shulist Family Farm, Sernoskie’s Tree Farm, Cardaleacres, Ottawa Valley Farm to Fork and Pinnacle Haven Farm.
