Our Herd

Crystal and Rowan came back with us from California.  Then Crystal had a cria, and Rowan had a cria, and we bought Summer, and Summer had a cria.  Now we have many more.  We even bought a llama to watch over the alpacas.  Click here to meet our herd.

Hats, Slippers, Etc.

We shear the alpacas once a year, and Jill makes felted hats and slippers and mittens from their fleece.  She also conducts half-day workshops where you can make your own hats and slippers and mittens, and learn the craft of felting.  More

About Alpacas

They originate from Peru and Bolivia and Chile, up in the Andes of South America.  Their fleece is warmer and softer than wool.  They eat grass hay.  Their gestation period is just over 11 months.  They’re related to camels.  More
