Farming is the way we choose to live.
We enjoy, raise and sell our alpacas and their luxurious products.
Alpacas are unique with their elegant, gentle and graceful, quiet nature. They produce one of the finest and most luxurious sustainable fleeces in the world, prized for its natural beauty and warming, silky softness. Alpacas are environmentally friendly requiring limited water to clean their lanolin free fleece and tread softly on the ground cover.
Come by the farm and see for yourself! All are welcome. 😊
Our studio and gift shop is filled with all natural yarns from our alpacas, both hand spun here on the farm and mill spun in Maine. Since all of our fiber is used for our yarn, we carry Altera Alpaca socks made in the U.S., that we wear and enjoy throughout the year. Our unique hand knit and woven alpaca clothing is from Peruvian Link, based in Amherst, Maine and Lima, Peru. They support local artisans in Peru and we are proud to carry mostly hand knitted items to support their efforts. Our own unique, hand knitted items or hand spun yarns are available upon request! We hand craft and enjoy our own natural soap and body butter. It is also available for sale in small batches. Come by for a visit and shop or contact us via our website or email. We provide farm tours during our open hours to meet and learn about our alpaca farm lifestyle. We offer different alpaca experiences on our farm including educational events and alpaca treks. Have some time to share a special occasion with us? Contact us to design your own event!
How did it all begin? Mike wanted to move to Maine and Anne wanted to farm, the rest is our story we are happy to share. It started as a spreadsheet somewhere between CT and Maine, perhaps over the Merrimack River stuck in traffic on 495 South in 2010. We wanted to make a career change and slow down a bit...changing life's course from our 30 year careers in urban education and firefighting.
At this point in 2020, we own twenty-two alpacas, three spinning wheels and lots of glorious, naturally colored fiber that is shorn once a year from our small alpaca herd. Our farm life includes our feral kitty, Lester, who helps with our mice patrol. We lost his buddy Milton in 2019. Our farm dog, Louie, is a Catahoula Leopard Hound mix. He came as a rescue, via Louisiana. We introduced chickens to our farm in 2016. We have 14 free ranging hens and one rooster, Mattie, who looks after his girls with pride! Our hens provide us with beautiful fresh brown, white, green and blue eggs. The chickens have a job to do protect our alpacas. They eat the ticks, slugs and other bugs.
We enjoy an active farm lifestyle while relishing in the slower pace of life with the alpacas on our farm, family and community/volunteer involvement. We are members of the Maine Alpaca Association, Maine Farm Bureau, New England Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association, Alpaca Owners Association, Southport Island Association, Southport Fire Department and Southport Memorial Library. We look forward to sharing our farm with you!
