Mom, dad and two amazing daughters share the fun, joys and chores around the farm.
With love and consideration, environmentally friendly Alpaca livestock.
Shopping for yarn turned into a crazy idea - Raising Alpacas and having an endless supply of yarn!
I discovered these lovely animals had been in Canada for almost 20 years and that people were raising them for their fiber.
We are animal lovers! Two dogs, four cats and 15 alpacas. We are using the Camelidynamics approach founded by Marty McGee Bennett. A kind, efficient, safe and science based approach to training and managing alpacas. A collection of methods that represent the most positive , animal oriented techniques for training alpacas.
Our farm is situated on 18 acres of land, 4 acres being pasture where our animals can freely roam. Pasture rotation is used to keep the land from overgrazing and minimize parasite count. Alpacas don’t over-eat (even though you would think some of ours have !) and utilize forage very efficiently. They hence require much less than other ruminants. An average alpaca will eat one small bale of hay per week!
