Farm Happenings
On July 10, Fox 29 visited our farm for a feature on our alpacas and 4-H Club.
We were featured at three time slots.
• We have just received a new batch of colorful yarns. They are 70% mohair and 30% merino in a bulky weight. Pete and Pippin contributed their fiber for these yarns.
• On July 5, we welcomed a troop of campers from Hideaway Camp. They visited with the alpacas, goats and sheep and had a lesson in needle felting.
On June 8th we were featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Here is a video about the farm:

On Saturday, June 9 we took King Arthur and Channing to the Perkasie Farmers Market. They were a huge hit and Channing let everyone pet her. Very rare!
Adopt an Alpaca (or goat or sheep)
As a response to those people who love the animals but can’t own their own, we are offering an adoption program.
You can choose which alpaca you would like to adopt and for a fee of $25 you will receive the following:
- Updates on your alpaca’s health, weight and activities (such as shows it may enter or markets it might visit).
- A copy of your alpaca’s National ARI registry certificate.
- An alpaca finger puppet.
- Visitation rights. Give us a call when you would like to come out and see your alpaca. You can even take him or her for a walk.
- Help in the shearing of your alpaca and receive a sample of its his or her fiber.
The adoption program is valid for one year.
To choose your animal, you can look at them on our website. Just click Our Girls and Our Boys to see all of the alpacas or come to the farm and choose one in person.
