A testimonial from some former students:
"Barbara, Jeff and I had an amazing time on your farm. I thank you so much for hosting us for my best birthday ever. My highest compliments go out to your staff: Ivy and Ashleigh.
They were both professional and down to earth. They were able to answer all of our questions and truly offered an outstanding experience for us both. I look forward to the day that I move into my house with land so I, too, may become an alpaca owner. I think we even convinced my husband that alpacas are wonderful, quiet animals that are so worth owning. I was also grateful to have the chance to meet you, too. I wish you a happy, productive rest of the year and look forward to visiting again very soon (so I can see the animals
with full fleece!)." -- Terrie, Pepperell, MA Click here for details | May 25, 2013 | | The Alpaca Turning Point Seminar Weedsport , NY, US | | It goes without saying, it is important to assess your business on a yearly basis. However, at some point in the life of any business plan, there comes a time when a total reevaluation may be necessary. Maybe this is due to a change in the industry or a change in your own goals. Whatever the case, a turning point will define a new directions, new challenges, and new aspirations. Click here for details | May 25 - 26, 2013 | | Open Alpaca Barn Sherwood, OR, US | | Two farms, one convenient location.
Take a break from the Memorial Day Winery Tours to meet the alpacas and (maybe) their new babies up close and handle their luxurious fleece.
The Barn Store will be stocked with teddy bears, sweaters, scarves, & other alpaca products, many hand-crafted.
Hand-spinners, knitters, & other fiber artists will find fleece and yarn. Many of the yarns are in one of the alpacas’ natural colors, spun from the fleece of a single animal. Bring your camera and get a shot of the alpaca who provided the raw material for your next project.
Visitors can chat with four long-time livestock breeders who've raised llamas, horses, sheep, and goats. They've found that alpacas are a perfect match for owners of small acreages or for crafters looking for their own four-legged fiber producers. Both farms offer alpacas for sale along with boarding options.
Open Saturday & Sunday of Memorial Day weekend from 10:00 to 4:00.

AOBA Fleece Judge, Fiber Arts Consultant, Owner Star Weaver Fiber Innovations
Fiber characteristics of importance in showing and processing can be affected by husbandry practices, breeding choices, environment and other factors. We will look at fleece on and off the animals to explore these characteristics such as fineness, strength, length and hand both on and off the animal as well as what can affect them. Understanding what you see will aid in making better decisions in husbandry practices, breeding choices and effective processing to product.
Skirting for show will be demonstrated and discussed as well as the difference for preparing a fleece for processing. Processing by individual fleece or by batching like fleeces together can yield different results. Learn about sorting and grading, blending with other fibers and what kind of yarns you can make. Leave this all inclusive fiber seminar with a better understanding of what you have and what its best use will be.
