Life on the Farm is a daily adventure and we hope to share some of the personalities of our happy herd of 100+ Alpacas. As we move toward our dream of having a working mill at our farm, we are documenting the stages of our journey and hope you will follow along. From starting the farm some years ago, to opening our Alpaca Shoppe and Fiber Studio in 2011 and all the future steps we will be taking, we are building a full service, alpaca “pasture to product” program that everyone can enjoy.

Don't Look So Worried .....
Thanks to one of my good friends, Nina, who comes to visit me regularly and feeds me treats.
It's a very regal sounding name and actually has a Tanzanian origin, meaning queen.
I can see already, it's going to be tough to live up to the high standards set by my namesake.
Nala is the name of the fictional lioness character in Disney's popular 1994 animated feature film The Lion King.
I know I can do it though because I'm growing into a beautiful young alpaca with crimp and density to spare.
I get my beautiful fiber from my Sire, Charmer and my color from my Dam, Black Pearle.
Although I've only been here since October - the 11th to be exact - it's easy to see who is the belle of the barn (at least in my opinion).
I'm also super friendly and love to have visitors come visit me. I very much enjoy the treats, now I'm old enough to eat them, but will also eat hay off the others backs if I get hungry.
Of course, I have my creep feeder at my disposal should I need snacks inbetween visitors - but I much prefer the alfalfa.
