You're going to do what?

That's the typical response we get when we tell people we want to be alpaca farmers. It's not what you would usually hear when you ask a couple with four kids what they're going to be when they grow up (the parents, not the kids). It's not what we though either until a couple of years ago. It's all my husbands fault. He was bored and surfing the internet one day and came across a picture of alpacas. Next thing you know we're reading up on them, visiting farms in the area and volunteering to help out at one of the local farms. Sooo, a couple of alpaca purchases later and we're on our way. No physical location yet, barely a virtual presence and a whole lot of unanswered questions. Lots of lovely fiber for me to play with and lots of hard work for the hubby. It's just the beginning! I hope to use this blog to chronicle our journey into the world of alpaca farming, expose some people to what can be done with the fiber and generally try to make sense of this decision we've made! Wish me luck!
