Welcome Stop
A huge THANK YOU to all who made our 8th annual FurFest such a success!! Our theme this year was Wild West and boy was it fun. We think this was the best shearing festival of all; complete with many volunteers, big ole' Texas barbeque at the end, and who could forget the bull riding! All alpacas are healthy, stress-free and cool now for the summer sporting their new hair cuts. Pregnant mom's are nearing due dates in cool style. WOW. Thank you again to all, and see ya next year for our 9th annual read more...

What a winter we are having! With snow and/or ice every week, we are busy keeping critters happy, warm and dry. It's a challenge to say the least. If that's not a full time job in itself, we are also getting our spring show string ready for the start of show season in March. We have 6 registered and getting halter trained for Nationals first weekend in March, then we head up to Massachusetts for North American where the competition is fierce! For now, relax and enjoy some pictures around the far read more...

We did everything together and were very involved in horses since I was 3 years old. We would trail ride together nearly every night of the week in the south jersey pines, and then take off on weekends showing h read more...

Miss Motor Honey family
An extraordinary alpaca doesn't come along every day. Yes, yes, they are all special in their own ways, of course. But to win our "Mother of the Year" award takes a very special lady. This year's winner is Miss Motor Honey. After she delivered a beautiful little female of her own, an unforeseen tragedy occurred and we were faced with a 2 month old orphan cria from another mom. I immediately thought Miss Motor Honey may make a terrific nurse-mom for our orphan, but trying to convince her was no e read more...

Our summer projects are under way; we've finished a fencing project in the boy's yards and are busy working on an ongoing irrigation project for all of the alpaca paddocks. In addition, there's always some type of construction or renovation to our 160 year old farmhouse. So, with all of this coming to completion soon, the question arises, "What next?". Well..........babies of course! Fall babies will begin arriving September 1st!!!! For deliveries and due dates, drop down our "More Info" tab and read more...
