Welcome to Angel's Cove's
                       Business Community

                     As you read in the brief introduction for Angel's Cove there

                     are several businesses here. There is a small convenience

                    store owned by Eva Coffey.  It serves the basic needs of the

                    people in the community and tourists who are passing

                    through.  The store has everything from chips, ice cream,

                    canned goods, drinks, and baked goods to gas pumps.

                     Farming is quite popular here.  Two families have fox farms,

                    each with about two hundred or more foxes.  Another

                    family has worked hard over the past years to clear a fair

                    sized pasture. They have some cows there now and are again

                    working to increase the size of their herd. Then there are

                    personal farms, where people set their gardens, and have a

                    few animals, just for personal pleasure.

 

                    One of the larger farms in Angel's Cove is

                    "Valley View Farms" owned by Florence Coffey.  This is one

                    of Newfoundland's first Emu farms, and the first to  have

                    an emu hatch.  They began with only 2 emu but this number

                    quickly began to grow, and continues to do so today, they

                    now have about 30.  This being the second largest bird in the

                    world draws quite a crowd, but it doesn't end there.  They

                    alsohave an ostrich here, the largest bird in the world.  You

                    don't have to be told what a great tourist attraction that is in

                    itself.

 

                    Both the emu and ostrich are a great source of red meat

                    that is low in fat, and is extremely tender.

                    Then they have smaller animals such as ducks, geese, etc., in

                    addition to a big U-pick strawberry farm. Obviously there is a

                    promising career in farming in Angel's Cove.

  

                    These are four pictures of the many emu that you will

                    see at Valley View Farm.
