Fall 2021 Events

Fall Farm Visit Day

After a long, hot summer, don’t you deserve a little fun? What could be better than a visit to an alpaca farm! Cindy and Wayne will open Shepherd’s Purse Alpacas for their Fall Farm Visit Day on Saturday, October 9th, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Due to the COVID-19 virus we ask visitors to wear masks and exercise safe social distancing.

This family-friendly event gives you the opportunity to interact with the alpacas and learn about these fascinating creatures, the luxury fiber they produce, and the many uses for their fine fleece. Wayne will be on hand in the barn to answer questions and introduce the alpacas. Cindy will open the Fiber Studio for visitors and you will be able to try your hand at needle felting. Refreshments will be provided and children will receive a finger puppet souvenir. The It’s Alpaca Boutique, featuring unique alpaca fashions, toys, and accessories, will be open for visitors who want to see the fine finished products or do some early holiday shopping. We look forward to seeing all of you on the 9th!
