Lavender Hill Farm participated in National Alpaca Farm Days on September 28th and 29th. Visitors enjoyed perfect weather to come to our farm!
The shop and barn were open from 10 - 4 both days. The weather was beautiful!
The shop was open, with apparel, yarn and roving, raw fiber, some stained glass,
felted ornaments, alpaca photos and rag rugs for sale. Loose lavender, satchets, and lavender bunches were also for sale. You could enjoy a cup of hot cider along with a piece of homemade pumpkin bread.
This is the entrance to the barn. The males are on the left and the females are on the right.
We have 11 males and 10 females.
We hang name signs with photos to help identify an alpaca.
This is the inside of our barn with an informational board on alpacas.
This is Champ, a five year old male that was born at Lavender Hill Farm.
Miko enjoyed this weather as much as we did!
These boys enjoyed getting close to the alpacas.
JJ demonstrated how alpacas only have teeth on the bottom
in front and have a hard palate on top.
The chickens are really comfortable around the alpacas.
This one was catching some sun.
The hens layed eggs as usual during their first National Alpaca Farm Days!
Champ seemed to know where his name sign was and stood right behind it, not once, but twice!
Acura enjoyed a dust bath while her daughter, Rose Petal, relaxed.
Mikey is our youngest male (two years old, on left) who JJ was play fighting with. JJ is an older male
that has allowed other younger males to play fight with him also, almost as if he's training them for
when they're bigger.
Mikey was really trying to fight while JJ just went along with it. It was fun to watch.
Champ enjoyed some hand fed hay by many visitors this weekend.
Mateo is chasing Miko as Thor looks on.
The alpacas had a long weekend full of fun with visitors. Kimmy and Ember took
a nap laying like this! Thanks to everyone who came by to see us at
Lavender Hill Farm. It was a great weekend!
