WORLDKINGS - Worldkings News - Caicos Conch Farm: World's only conch farm

24-09-2020

(Worldkings.org) At this attraction you’ll see conchs of all sizes, the hatchery, algae vats that produce food for the conchs, and large ocean corrals in the shallow turquoise waters of Leeward Going Through Channel.

The Caicos Conch Farm on Providenciales is the world's only conch farm. This educational site and functioning seafood farm offers a close-up look at the queen conch (strombus gigas), and the unique process that was developed locally to raise these giant ocean snails.

At this attraction you’ll see conchs of all sizes, the hatchery, algae vats that produce food for the conchs, and large ocean corrals in the shallow turquoise waters of Leeward Going Through Channel.

The stars of the attraction are Sally and Jerry, female and male pet conchs, which are on display for a hands-on show and tell. In addition to the outdoor sights, there’s a gift shop on the premises which sells shells and a range of locally produced conch souvenirs such as jewelry and bowls.

 

One unique item you’ll learn about is the rare and beautiful treasure that is the conch pearl. These pearls may be brilliant pink, peach, white, and every shade in between. Shapes may be circular or oblong. Pearls can be found for sale at the Conch Farm and at some of the Grace Bay Jewellery shops.
