News, News, News!

Congratulations to the winners of our Spring Fair Raffle! Robin from Gig Harbor and Mersadi from Spanaway were the lucky winners of an alpaca pocket teddy bear! Mersadi visited our farm to pick up her bear and meet our alpacas (see picture).

UPCOMING EVENTS

We will be opening our farm to the public for SPRING FARM DAYS on Saturday & Sunday, June 6-7 (10 am-4 pm). As we do in the Fall, we will open our farm so you can meet our alpacas, feed them and learn more about these beautiful, intelligent animals from South America. Our farm is located at 8021 50th St E in SE Fife on the North side of the Puyallup River.

We are also participating in Puyallup's Meeker Days on June 19-21 where we will have our alpaca products booth in Pioneer Park. Hopefully the weather will be as nice as it was for the Spring Fair!

We look forward to seeing you!
