This weekend is National Alpaca Farm Day. Alpaca Farms across the country will be participating in Open Houses, boasting about our alpacas and how much we love the lifestyle. We'll be telling people about how we got into alpacas, all about raising them, what we use the fiber for, what they eat, the fleece and the many colors, the genetics, DNA testing, fiber analysis. You name it. We love to talk about alpacas.
Long Acres Alpaca Farm is part of a group of alpaca farms known as Cumberland Valley Alpacas (CV Alpacas). We started getting together out of our common interest of alpacas. We've stayed together because we really like each other's company and have found we have many common interests. In general, the alpaca community has a tremendous number of interesting, educated people from incredibly diverse backgrounds. For many, raising alpacas is a second career. CV Alpacas includes members working in the science field, retail, medical, environmental, and business sectors. Some are just starting families, others are sending children off to college or raising grandchildren. Busy lifestyles but very rewarding ones.
We hope you can stop by this weekend to visit our farms. Three farms will be open on Saturday (Ragged Edge, Shasta Spring, and Top Knot'ch) and three will be open on Sunday (Stone Meadow, Long Acres, and Cherry Run). Hours are 9 am to 5 pm. Each farm will feature a particular event or topic. Details are on our website at www.cvalpacas.com. If you can't make it this weekend, give us a call. We're here everyday.
