National Alpaca Farm Days September 25-26 2010

This year Lavender Hill Farm participated in our first National Alpacas Farm Days weekend.  We enjoyed great weather and a great turnout!  Visitors enjoyed seeing the alpacas and feeling their fiber, learning about alpacas and what it takes to care for them and had the opportunity to buy apparel made from Alpaca.  There was also fiber demonstrations showing how to spin alpaca fiber and how to do needle felting.  Visitors were also able to have a photo taken with two of our well behaved male alpacas, Champ and Mateo.  Homemade breads and cookies as well as drinks were available to those who came out to visit our farm.  It was a great weekend!


We had hats, scarves, gloves, socks and dolls all made from alpaca for sale.

Many visitors enjoyed having their photo taken with Champ and Mateo.
