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.

Buckingham's Choice Retirement Community
Visitors and Residents of Buckingham's Choice Retirement Community came and spent the morning with us today and it was a treat for everyone concerned.
Ice Man had a lovely time meeting all the new people and very much enjoyed all the attention he received.
Mobility was difficult for some, so we brought the alpacas to the people, and it was a nice change of scenery for Ice Man and Mason - our stars of the morning.
Some of our bigger boys wanted to get in on the action, especially when the carrots came out. There's nothing quite like the experience of feeding an alpaca lip to lip. They are so incredibly gentle with super soft noses that it has to be experienced to be believed.
Smiles were plentiful and our alpacas certainly enjoyed all the extra treats they were given today. Ice Man, one of our Juvenile Boys, and Mason, one of our Yearling Boys, have pens in the back of the barn so they seldom get treats from visitors.
Thank you Buckingham's Choice. We look forward to you coming back to visit us again. Maybe we will have a baby to show you at your next visit.
