Interested in owning Alpacas? The owners, Chris & Rebecca will be available to answer all your questions concerning the care and
management of this wonderful livestock investment. Why loose money on Wall Street when you can invest in Alpacas and literally watch your
investment grow. Also ask for a catalog and sales list of the current herd at Good Shepherd Farm. You can also register for our Alpaca Herd
Health Day that will be on Saturday May 9th. This workshop will show you the proper care and management, husbandry, feed, record
keeping, and marketing.
For more information about entering the lifestyle of raising alpacas,
be sure to get with Chris or Rebecca.
Spinning / Knitting / Crocheting / Felting If you are a spinner of yarn you will want to come
and get your hands on this fiber. Softer than cashmere, Alpacas were once considered the fiber of
royalty and was reserves for Inca Kings. A spinning specialist will be available to make hand spun
yarn by order for any raw fleece purchased at the event.
Knitters and Crocheters will have the chance to see the animal from which the yarn was made from
and can pre-order the yarn they choose. Our 100% Alpaca yarn is all natural, non allergenic, and
5 times warmer than wool and even warmer than synthetics.
Dartmont Freewill Baptist Church will be at the farm selling hot dogs and refreshments.
