Open Farm Day a Success

On Sunday approximately 160 people came and visited our farm. Caroline and I talked about alpacas all day long. Between 945 and 415 I think there was only 15 minutes that both of us were not showing at least one group the alpacas. Based on conversations and the reviews in our guest book, I think everyone had a good time. We had SweetNS and Toblerone in a temporary pen so that everyone could have a feel of how soft their fibre is. The girls were not as cooperative as only half decided to come in for morning mineral rations so not all of them got their picture taken by the many guests. Our farm store of Alpaca products, homemade breads and vegetables from the garden also did well. Special thanks to Caroline's mom (Muriel) and Genevieve who manned the store. I think the only ones who did not enjoy themselves were our dogs as they unfortunately had to stay in the house all day as this many people would have been to much for them.

Another girl!

We now have had the last cria of the season, about a week earlier than expected. We have named this last one Alteza in keeping with the letter A theme for this year.

We will start thinking about a theme for next year before too long.
