Off to a farm we went on Saturday morning.There were sheep, alpacas, and smiling llamas
And the people who love and care for them...
Baskets filled with colorful skeins of spun alpaca yarn caught the eye..
What a journey...from alpaca to stylish hat
I hope readers join me in supoort of local growers & producers everywhere. Check out what's in your area and then stop in. You just might discover something delightful.
I realized that I forgot to include the information about the vendors and hosts of the farm fair.

One of the other farms showing their animals and goods was Winding Creek Alpacas and Llamas, please check out their website or blog for more information
They are such fantastic animals. I have saw articles made from the Alpaca wool and they are beautiful. I am with you in that we really need to support our local growers and producers.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I hear someone say, Yes to buying locally I want to stand up and applaud loudly! As you know, Lona, Ohio has been hard hit with the economic downturn, but I'm seeing a slow renaisance in this little corner I call home. There are new shops opening with wonderful items for sale from organic foods grown within a three hour radius to shops carrying vintage gift items that all fall under the three R's. I hope the trend continues for many years to come.
ReplyDeleteAwww, they are so cute! Lovely shots! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, we all should support local growers and producers. Happy day!

I'm in the middle of a big alpaca wool knitting love fest but our local shop only has natural colored alapaca --well, white, beige, black etc.
ReplyDeleteI need bright colors for my little elves......
Any idea where I can order some?
Elizabeth...I'll do some checking for you and see if the vendors would do a mailing or if they have a website. There's nothing on the flyer about a website, but one never knows.
ReplyDeleteThese are great shots. Love the alpaca to hat transition.
