Welcome To Our Sweet Creations ALPACA FARM!
We are thrilled that you are visiting with us today at our alpaca farm!
You will have so much fun!
We absolutely fell in love with alpacas the first time that we met them, and we know that you will love them, too. They are so inquisitively curious, and their fleece is so luxuriously soft. We just wanted to hug them as much as possible, and never let them go. And we still feel the same way!
So, we want to share our passion and our experiences with you. We will laugh together, and possibly cry together, while we explore everything that you want to know about these exotic animals.
The first destination on our adventure is ancient South America to discover their native home and their importance to the Incas as the fiber of the gods.
Then, we will put on our walking shoes to tour the farm while learning all about their care and farming.
Next, we will pull on our chullo (South American hats) thinking caps in order to understand breeding and color genetics. Do not worry! It is not difficult!
We will even take you to shows with us and show you the ropes.
Then, we will discover their fantastic fiber, and learn about fiber arts.
There is so much to see and do that you will need to spend lots of time with us. But really, we do not mind! We enjoy your company!
Your kids can be actively involved with these adorable creatures in a variety of ways, too. What terrific educational opportunities for them! Shhh! Do not tell them that they are learning so much - they will just think that they are having fun!
And, of course, we will introduce you to our sweet alpacas. They would love to meet you in person, too. And so do we! So, we will let you know how you can really visit us up close and personal. We are easily accessible just east of Cincinnati, Ohio .
After meeting these awesome animals, you will probably want to own them yourself. There are so many options! You may dream about your own serene farm away from the pressures of a stressful job. Or you may desire to board them or lease them? Whichever way, we will help you develop a business plan so that you can create your own sweet success. Or you can even keep them as family pets since they are so gentle around kids of all ages from 2 to 102!
Of course, you do not want to leave your visit with us today without a souvenir. How about a cuddly alpaca bear, or a scarf, hat, mittens, or socks made from authentic alpaca fleece? We will help you pick out something really special.
We are so glad that you stopped by today. Please look around, and let us know if you have any questions! But, please beware - our alpacas will capture your heart!
Take care,
Valerie and Sierra (my daughter) and our Sweet Creations!
