Winter on the farm 2008

With the winter rush of Christmas orders mostly behind us we at PurelyAlpaca have taken time to enjoy the most beautiful snow our alpaca farm has seen in a decade.

The snow is still cold and locally we don't use salt or ash so even the roads are bright white. To get out of our driveway we need 4WD and Chains. We went through some serious heroics to get orders out quickly on one extemely important Christmas shipping day (but you'll have to ask about it privately, we won't disclose that publicly!)

It's truly gorgeous and it is exciting to know we will surely have a white Christmas!!

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you!!

Alpacas in tough times?

A recent article about investing in alpacas during these challenging economic times.

I don't know about the livestock industry at the moment but the garment industry continues to grow and grow. ALPACA makes an excellent all- natural, eco-friendly, non-polluting product that is soft, durable and luxurious. Emus, Llamas and other animals which had a "fad" following cannot rely on the commodity aspect that alpacas can. I do not see alpacas going away. Sure, prices will change but the top animals will always demand an impressive price. And once you've enjoyed a quality alpaca garment, you like me, will be a raging fan.
