Pasture to Product
The main emphasis of the Wonder Why Alpaca Farm, LLC is Fiber Arts.  We focus on making our breeding decisions and pasture maintenance with the end product in mind.  Alpacas are fiber producing animals so as a breeding farm, we have a responsibility to the fiber industry to create a herd that will produce the Wonder that is Alpaca.

FARM VISITS


We are a busy farm and a busy family with kids in school plus working full time jobs.  We will do our best to open the farm up to visitors.  Please call first to see if we are available for a tour.

We prefer to have farm visits during the Summer months when our children are out of school.  We'd love to show you the wonder of Alpacas so please take a look at the events we will be attending too.

ASK ME ABOUT
FIBER SORTING


As of February 28, 2010, I am a Certified Sorter Apprentice. 

What does this mean? 
It means that I am trained to look at fleeces to determine their textile grade.
Why is this important? 
It's important because fiber needs to be properly sorted to make a better quality product.  There is more usable fiber from each alpaca and less waste at the mill when properly sorted.
What are the advantages?
As a fiber producers, you will receive an individual sort record for each alpaca, a sort summary for the entire clip, assistance with herd management and increased usable fiber which means increased profit potential along with suggested uses for each grade of fiber I sort.

Contact me today if you would like to learn more about having your fiber sorted.
