Spending Time at the Alpaca Farm

Well we finally made it to the Alpaca Farm this year! I had discovered this farm online last year but we always seemed to miss the dates that the public is allowed to visit the farm. So this year, Kaela and I marked our calendars and finally made it to the farm.
Wasn't exactly what we were thinking it was going to be. But it was fun and we learned an awful lot about Alpaca's that we never knew. Kaela is the Alpaca lover, but I did enjoy spending some time with them too.
The farm we went to was called, "New England Alpacas" which is located in Killingworth, Connecticut. This farm is owned by Lou and Melissa Ferrara. And although we didn't have the pleasure of meeting Melissa, we had a very nice time with Lou answering all our questions we had while we were there. If you are going to be in the area, or would just like to check out the farm on your own, here is the link to their website: www.nealpacas.com

The 'farm' is actually in The Ferrara's backyard.

 

 

These little guys are so cute but very strange animals. The littlest thing scares them

But they are so nosy, they can't help but come back to see what is going on *LoL*

Some Alpaca's are groomed differently and are shared throughout the Alpaca community so they can make babies

 

 

 

This was my favorite Alpaca. All she did was eat the whole time we were there :)

This is Lou. The Alpaca's were very fond of him and followed him around while he was in their pen

Look at that Alpaca looking at Lou, so cute!!

 

Such a nice time at the farm. Glad we went. This particular farm had 25 Alpaca's.

 

 

And Kaela took home some souvenirs :)

 

 Not sure how Jerry felt about this whole trip. But I do know he enjoyed the lunch we stopped to eat on the way home ;)  *LoL*
