![]() Our story began in December 2003. we were watching a local news program and getting ready for work. They featured an alpaca farm and how they got started with alpacas. I watched and thought they were very cute. I kidded to my husband Kris that we had 10 acres and should buy alpacas! A few weeks later, we were at a Christmas party and some good friends had on some very nice alpaca sweaters from the same farm featured on the news program! That was the hook. We looked online and found a farm close to us offering a seminar and thought it would be a great opportunity to check it all out. By the time we left the seminar we were decided. They are small, easy to handle, easy to care for, easy to clean up after, so we thought hey – why not try it! We visited farms over the summer and fall and purchased our first two females in November 2004. We have grown from the two to 14 and it's been great fun. We've even seen a birth! It's opened new areas of interest as I've taken up spinning and love it! I've also learned to wet felt hats which I'm selling direct and through a quaint store La Bella Mela Boutique in Brockport. They've given us a purpose above our normal obligations that we hope to share with others. Whether it’s through the fiber, the products, or the animals, we hope to share this experience with you. |
