Articles by Jill Forquer, Allegheny Nesting

My name is Jill Forquer and I moved to Kane, PA almost ten years ago. I did not know many people when I first moved to Kane so I made it my goal to build myself a “nest”. A “nest” to me is a collection of all of your favorite things and the place you feel the most comfortable- a home. Over the next several years I worked within the community, explored our area, added onto our home, met new friends, added 3 kids to our family and started our own homestead. We now have goats, alpacas and chickens. I can proudly say I have truly made “my nest” in Kane. I now stay at home with my children and own my small business Allegheny Nesting. I make seasonal home decor, handmade goat milk soap, engraved charcuterie boards , dough bowl candles and wooden jewelry. I have recently published a tour book about Kane, PA and also have an Alpaca Coloring Book coming out soon! Follow my Facebook page and my Blog on my website for new products, local business spotlights and updates on my Alpaca Coloring Book which is titled Allegheny Alpacas: The Real Stars of the Forest
