There’s nothing cuter than an alpaca in full fleece!

Windrush Alpacas are wearing a year’s worth of fluffy fleece…but not for long! This Open Farm Day Event will be your last chance to see them in their winter coats before they get sheared for the warm months of summer! 

On Saturday, April 13, 2013 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. will be the Windrush Alpacas Open Farm Day Event and Farm Store Shopping Experience. Come out to our farm — bring your kids and bring your parents — and spend a couple of hours meeting our friendly alpaca!

Learn why alpaca fleece is super soft, warmer than wool and highly sought after. We’ll explain the shearing procedure and the process the raw fibers go through to become a usable product to be made into luxurious items for human (and pet) comfort. 

We’ll also take you on a guided pasture tour and perform some demonstrations to educate you on the wonderful world of alpaca farming.  Then you can browse our Farm Store collection of alpaca products–some items made from our very own alpacas–including alpaca fiber bird-nesting balls which are great for spring birds! And if you’re a crafter, we also offer yarns, roving, batting and needle felting kits.

We always offer free admission, free parking and free refreshments.

A Valentine’s gift like no other!

The hottest Valentine gift this season – a Pacabuddy!

Nothing quite says “love” like snuggling does, so why not give your love something to snuggle when you’re not around? A Pacabuddy is just the thing! Soft, cuddly and cute they’re sure to stand out in a crowd of teddy bears!

Visit Windrush Alpacas on Saturday, February 11, 2012 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to get your very own Pacabuddy — or several! — during our monthly Open Farm Day Event and Farm Store Shopping Experience.  Glance through our inventory of other “snuggly” items such as luxuriously soft scarves, gloves, mittens, hats and the most comfortable socks and slippers you could ever put on your feet! Alpaca fiber is warmer than wool yet lighter in weight and has a softness that’s comparable to cashmere. It’s naturally lanolin free and does not feel prickly against your skin so that people who are sensitive to wool can usually wear alpaca. That’s amazing! 

Don’t miss out on the best part! Take a tour of our Alpaca Farm and learn about alpacas, what they’re really like, and how we harvest their lovely fleece. This is an event that can be enjoyed by your whole family… from toddlers to teens to great-grandparents! Bring your camera and be ready to have a super unique and fun experience. 

We always offer free admission, free parking and free refreshments such as our special Alpaca Themed coffee.
