 We are finally into the fall season. We have had some rain of late and our pastures are very lush and the alpacas are happy with the nip in the air. They of course don’t mind sleeping outdoors when we have a frost and it’s interesting to go to the barn in the early morning and see all our colored animals are white from frost.

There are a few projects we need to do to get ready for the winter, like changing the grade near the barn for better drainage. Linda is putting mouse guards on the beehives and starting to feed the bees to help build up their stores for the winter.

We are fairly new to Facebook and are surprised at the number of folks who follow us there. We often have people come up to us at different events and tell us they saw where we were going to be on Facebook.

We look forward to going to the Virginia Christmas Market this month. This will be our first time at this event and it lasts three days. We have been very picky about new products for this event and our web store, but I think folks will love the new offerings we will have. Later in December we will be at the Gloucester Holiday Festival. This event was snowed out last year, but we had a white Christmas! I am sure it will be a great time this year.

 We have been talking with the wonderful folks at House of ‘Phia. They import the beautiful handmade shawls for us from Bolivia. If all goes well we hope to have some more varied products from them soon so keep checking our web store for some nice and unusual Christmas Gifts.

For our yarn customers we have greatly expanded our yarn selection this year. We have everything from rovings and yarns from our own animals to hand dyed or painted yarns and blends for the fiber artisans out there

We know all our fiber customers will be as warm and happy as our alpacas this season and we thank you all for your support.
