Alpaca Farm Days - September 27th and 28th

During the last weekend in September you will find alpaca farms all over the United States and Canada opening their gates to welcome the public creating a great opportunity to share information about the breed and a chance to get a better look at these wonderful animals.

Alpacas at Tucker Creek will be open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on both Saturday, September 27th and Sunday, September 28th. During the weekend you will have the opportunity to see the daily activities involved in working with alpacas including cleaning the barn and pastures, feeding, toe nail trimming, shearing and breeding--depending on your time of arrival. There will also be farm tours and fiber spinning demonstrations. We are fortunate to have local fiber artist, Peggy Boisvert, joining us for part of the weekend. Alpaca yarn and finished products are available in our farm store--a great way to start your Christmas shopping.

Please join us as we love sharing these wonderful animals with visitors. Refreshments will be served and we will have drawings for male alpacas and alpaca products. Look forward to seeing you there. Please follow this link for directions.
