Mother welcoming the 1st alpacas
As we rush around preparing for the holiday festivities, I am reminded of those things that matter most; family, friends, health. Our alpaca venture began over 8 years ago when my mother suffered her first stroke. She and I were closer than any mother/daughter and the best of friends. 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.

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...

Josephine boy, "Curly"
Spring babies are arriving and so far, we are amazed at the fiber Lenox has put on every single one! Josephine had what Tim and I think is THE best male born on the farm; a big strapping fellow we nicknamed "Curly". Then Lotta delivered an 18 lb MB cutie female sired by Lenox. Yesterday, Yellow Moon surprised us with a whopping 20lb white girl with the longest legs you can imagine-in the middle of tropical storm Andrea, no less! All moms and babies doing great. Great job Lenox for this year's su read more...
