Some updates on the new farm and store
Wow - so much to do and so much to catch up on! For my readers both here and Facebook, I know I have been absent, but moving the entire farm is ALOT of work! Now it is May and we are getting ready for shearing again and I have to say I am a bit overwhelmed !
Just thought I would share some pictures with you of the new farm over the last couple of months. I haven't had any recent pictures, but on the first nice spring day, I will take some pics of the pacas in the pastures and share them with you as well. For now enjoy pics from the last couple of months.
Soon as shearing is over (May 18-19), we will be working live busy bees on the store - woo hoo, that has me really excited!

Alpacas in the News (again) - CBS Sunday Morning
CBS loves alpacas - they have had several reports on them through the years - here are a few videos that I think are worth a look.
December 1, 2008 -- Peggy Parks (Johnstown, PA) click here to view - this video is a little outdated with prices etc, and does talk about the "emu bubble", but does talk about the positives. (Originally on CBS evening news)
March 16, 2011 - Alpacas on CBS in Australia - an alpaca gets amorous behind the reporter - funny - click here to view. Talks about the different types and is quite amusing as well.
May 11, 2011 - Not really news (and wasn't on TV), but a cute video of a sleepy cria - click here to view - just darn cute
March 25, 2012 - Amber of Colorado and Bill and Lori from Harley Hill Alpacas in (Quakertown, PA) talks about alpacas for fun and profit - click here to view - this video is more up to date and talks about fiber, taxes, nutrition and thier "Muppet" like qualities. (Originally on CBS News Sunday Morning)
