And we are shorn 😁
A massive thankyou to the internal and incoming team for a fabulous stress-free and enjoyable table-based shearing event for 2024! Stress free alpacas and handlers with no tired knees or backs with no bending and dropping alpacas to the ground ever needed with our table-top system 😍🥰!
Lots of cooler alpacas, mountains of fabulous fleece, and all sorted and ready for skirting and despatch 👍
Fabulous very caring and huggable handling, watched over by the equally fleecy doggy director of operations who regularly gets lost in camouflage, and topped off this weekend by the arrival of Cria NO. 3, mum delighted to get her coat off in time for a perfect unpacking 💖💖
Thanks to Craig, Casper, Shannon, the internal energetic family team of herd handlers 👏👏👏, and to everyone who trusted us to arrive on farm here and to take our core and cluster bookings off-farm, to get their beautiful alpacas shorn ready for Summer!

"The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The farmhouse was beautiful and in a stunning location. The highlight for our family was being so close to the alpacas, and the hosts were very kind in arranging a time for us to go feed them, which my children loved, and we enjoyed very much. I would highly recommend this place for a quiet night/ nights away. Would definitely go again" - thanks for your kind words, Shona!
