Alpacatober!! Sharing what we love about alpacas...

Change of plans for Spring 2022....

Winter is finally winding down and show season is upon us again. We were very excited to be attending our first AOA National Show this year.

We had planned to showcase two of our juvenile females at Nationals--American Shine and Rising Starlet. These standout girls are two of our top crias from 2021.

Winding down 2021 and looking ahead to 2022

As the year comes to a close and winter is settling in, it is a good time to reflect on the whirlwind of activity that has taken place on our farm this year.

We also met a lot of great alpaca people who have helped us

So much is happening!!

Wow! We sure have a lot to catch up on over the past few months!

We had a great experience participating in our first 2 alpaca shows ever--PAOBA/MABA and MAPACA in April 2021. We decided to become a sponsor for both shows as a way to get our name out there, so people in the alpaca community know that we are here! We are overwhelmed at the great response we have received! Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to look at our pages and our animals. We are so happy to be part of th
