During the educational tour you will learn about the Alpacas

          • Walk to the barn to visit the Alpacas to find out how we care for our alpacas.
          • You will learn about the history of the alpacas, where they are from, and when they came to the United States.
          • You will see how our Alpaca fleece is processed into yarn and products
          • Everyone can “Touch” the Alpaca’s fiber and products made from Alpaca.

 

Participate in a Fiber Workshop and make a craft out of Alpaca Fiber:

          • Learn Wet Felting and craft a felted Necklace, Bracelet, or Cat Toy.
          • Make a Refrigerator Magnet shaped like an Alpaca.
