After watching the results of the Suri Network fleece show this past weekend, something occurred to me. I had to go back and check my records to be sure, but then I was elated! Out of all the champions and winners announced, 5 of those animals have direct links to our farm and the genetics we have so carefully selected while building our herd!!

Playboy pre-shearing 2020
We have some really exciting news to share this May. We are hosting a fantastic herdsire from the west coast at our farm!!
El Dorado Playboy is a stunning boy! We had been searching for an Eagle Valley Spirit Dancer son to add to the herd, but with no luck. This is the next best thing!! We want to thank Simone Adams of Berry Box for allowing Playboy to spend a few months with us at Honey Maple Farms!! Not only will he be standing stud at our farm, we are offering breedings to him for read more...

During the month of October, the AOA encourages all alpaca farms to participate in Alpacatober...a salute to the animals we all raise and love! We are going to share a little about why we love raising our animals. So here goes.....
10/3- In the mornings I love grabbing a cup of coffee, getting my little dog, Gracie, on her leash, and heading out for a walk to the barn and pastures. The alpacas are so curious that they come right to the fence to see what is going on...even though Graci read more...

Winter is finally winding down and show season is upon us again. We were very excited to be attending our first AOA National Show this year. Unfortunately, an unexpected illness the week before nationals forced us to cancel our plans. What a disappointment! We had planned to showcase two of our juvenile females at Nationals--American Shine and Rising Starlet. These standout girls are two of our top crias from 2021.
We are still not sure what is in store for us this spring, but still hoping t read more...

As the year comes to a close and winter is settling in, it is a good time to reflect on the whirlwind of activity that has taken place on our farm this year. We doubled our herd size over the past 12 months and added some FANTASTIC genetics to build on! We built a new building to house our males, added a shed area to our main barn, and cleared more land for pastures. We welcomed 13 new crias to our herd and made our first alpaca sales. We also met a lot of great alpaca people who have helped us read more...

2021 has been a year of great opportunity for us at Honey Maple Farms! We were able to acquire 2 small herds of outstanding suri alpacas, and a few other outstanding females too, which bring us an awesome diversity of genetics to build on for the future.
First, we made some great new friends at Santa Claus Alpacas. Dan and Lu are just wonderful folks and we are fortunate to acquire their last 6 females as they head towards retirement from the alpaca business after many years of successful br read more...

Wow! We sure have a lot to catch up on over the past few months!
We had a great experience participating in our first 2 alpaca shows ever--PAOBA/MABA and MAPACA in April 2021. We decided to become a sponsor for both shows as a way to get our name out there, so people in the alpaca community know that we are here! We are overwhelmed at the great response we have received! Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to look at our pages and our animals. We are so happy to be part of this commu read more...
