Here are two interesting articles on sustainability and llamas as a way to diversify your farm enterprise. Enjoy!

Fryeburg Fair

Our friend, Lynd Blatchford from Greenbriar Llama Karma Farm took the following pictures of us at Fryeburg Fair this year! Hana is seen below with Bella in the Pack Obstacle course doing a lovely demonstration of picking up a front foot. The next picture is the versatility class, Hana demonstrating how Bella and Aurora have cross-species relations!

Thank you Lynd for the wonderful pictures!

The next set of pictures are for our favorite part of the Fryeburg Fair Llama show - the costume class! Below is our poem that was recited at the fair while we walked around the ring! We hope you enjoy :D.

The Stitchy Llama Sisters

The Stichy Sisters love to knit

They made their very own outfits!

From their hats and scarves to the blankets and shawls,

The Stitchy Sisters never bought at malls.

They spin their yarn from animal fleece

Those of goat, rabbit, llama, and sheep.

And what do you know?

In their search for fiber

They found some Stitchy Llamas!

The Stitchy Llamas are sisters as well!

The two pairs are alike in more ways than you can tell.

Both pairs are 6 years apart

But they are always together,

Both love to crochet and knit,

And when they get mad, sometimes they spit.

The Stitchy Sisters barter and trade

Some llama fiber for blankets

That the two sisters made

This time of year what comfort and warmth

You can get from llama-spun garments like these!

After some practice the four sisters talents grew

And they decided to start selling their stylish garments to you!

So Hail! White Mountain Llamas

(for that is what the sisters are now called)

They travel all over New England

Throughout the fall.

Look for them in Farmer’s Markets and Crafts Fairs galore,

Or perhaps in some North Country Store.

They’ll be spinning and kitting away while they talk

To catch your eye while you’re out for a walk.

Please visit their blog and let them know what you think!

You can find their White Mountain Llamas email link!

After the show, you can find the sisters in the barn,

You should get their autograph, before they are gone!



We hope you enjoyed! Thank you for visiting!

Post Fair Season

Well, its post fair season - what a trip! Hana and I did 5 weekends in a row and one double weekend to get our hand-spun yarn, Angora rabbits, and in some cases the llamas to Haverhill, NH, Sugar Hill, NH, Tunbridge, VT, Fryeburg, ME, and Bradford, VT. We will now have discounts on livestock, yarn, and apparel (scarves, hats, etc.) through the new year! Also see our drop spindles (pictured below).

Currently we have four French/German hybrid Angora bucks for sale. There are two black steel, one black tortoise shell, and one fawn. We also have one female yearling llama for sale and one non-breeding female for lease. We are planning on having unrelated Angora litters for spring and autumn of 2010!

As always, if you need any information on Angora rabbit and llama care, please email us and we will be happy to point you in the right direction. Remember - every Angora rabbit comes with a free fiber lesson! Remember to visit our gardening blog.
