Don’t have a pick up truck? Well some people have been very creative such as, trailers, trash cans, buckets or bags. We’ll dump it someplace and you shovel.
We will share the second scoop for free, that’s a $16.00 value. Additional loads are available during this one day event and throughout the year on Saturday mornings 8-noon, by appointment, for $16.00
Shearing Day—-
Alpaca Fleece Harvest Day
3rd Sunday in May ~ 2022 May 15th
All year long we offer, Alpaca fleece, fiber arts classes and a gift shop fill with products and apparel made with alpaca fiber.
Where does all that alpaca fiber come from?
The answer is: it comes from our alpacas, grown right here on the ranch.
Shearing day is harvest day at the alpaca ranch. All the alpacas get their hair cut. We collect their fleece to supply the shop.
You are invited to watch or get your hands on the fun.
We have a viewing area where you can watch the shearer, Nathan Good, and helpers take the alpaca fleece from the alpaca. Remember to visit the alpaca gift shop to take home a little alpaca of your own.
