Visit Sugar Hollow Farm in the hills of Franklin County, PA and meet our award winning herd of alpacas! Many alpacas are for sale, and if you book a breeding to one of our herdsires Snowmass King Leonidus, Poseidon Isaac's Matoskah, Inspiration's Jumping Jack Flash and Pride's Honeyboy Edward, the cost is 1/3 off if the breeding is booked on this day (we'll honor this for on-line bookings, too - deal expires at midnight on Dec. 15, 2018).
Our three junior herdsires, Leonidus' Leader of the Pack, Matoskah's Mr. Sandman and Matoskah's Billy the Kid are for sale at a reasonable price - they haven't been in the show ring yet, but we expect great things.
Leonidus' Tiny Dancer and Jumpin Jack's Maybellene will further convince you that you'd love to book a breeding to one of our herdsires! HoneyB doesn't have any offspring yet, so he is priced a little lower.
Not interested in shopping for alpacas? The Sugar Shack will be open for holiday shopping. Christmas goodies and hot beverages will warm you as you visit around the fire. And our kune kune pigs, chickens and Molly the farm dog will entertain you, too!
