Join Us For Our Annual Holiday Open House Dec. 1 & 2, 2012
Farm Will Be Open to Visitors Saturday & Sunday, December 1st & 2nd, 2012 From 10 AM to 4 PM
Drop by to visit all our friendly critters. The barn will be open from 10 AM until 4 PM and we will introduce you to our loveable herd. Get a chance to touch one of these wonderful animals, and maybe even get a kiss. Help us name one of the new babies in the Name a Cria contest and win an Alpaca Teddy Bear.
Take time to see all the luxurious, warm, non-alergic garments made from Alpaca Fiber, and maybe get a jump on your Holiday Shopping with some great alpaca socks, sweaters, scarves, mittens or whatever. Alpaca yarn in all colors from our own animals is also available.
This is also a great opportunity to find out about owning alpacas as the most unique enjoyable pets you could have, as a source of the finest fiber for your home spinning wheel, or as a fun profitable business.

Mobile Guard Llama
Beverly On Duty
Our guard llamas cover a lot of territory so we provide high speed transportation to maximize their effectivness. Not Really! While Louise went inside the barn Beverly, our Guard Llama, decided to see what the view was like from the back of the Mule. She just jumped in and surprised everyone when we came outside. After surveying the area and posing for pictures, Beverly decided the view was just as good at ground level and jumped back down.

2010 Shearing Dates Quickly Approaching
Wed. May 12th & Thur. May 13, 2010
We are beginning to prepare for the quickly approaching days to shear our herd of 100+ alpacas. We look forward to welcoming our happy group of volunteers for a couple days of uninterrupted "Fun". Thanks to all who have, during the past year, offered to help. Please contact us ahead of time so we know who to expect on which days.
Many have asked if they could come just to observe but we regretably have to say NO. There is so much activity and work to be done that we cannot allow bystanders for fear of someone being injured. As always, you are welcome to come view the alpacas that are outdoors and can be seen thriough the fences.
If you would seriously like to volunteer to help at shearing, please call or email us as soon as possible.
