Sunny Weekend

A friend treated me to a magical visit to an alpaca farm this weekend. He had noticed a small sign on the way to the highway that I never had, and after driving down a small road for a short ways, there it was.

A beautiful green pasture leading to a lovely house and barn, and, better yet, alpacas!

15 males and females, freshly shorn, and kept separate for responsible breeding. That is Harvard Alpaca Ranch.

They have award winning alpacas, whose ribbons they proudly display. They send the fiber out to a mill. The turnaround on the fiber is loooong, but they're expecting some product to come back in July! Will have to check it out!

As it is, I was supportive and picked up two beautiful alpaca skeins (I think/hope those were local, too). Special projects brewing!
