I finally managed to get to the store at Alpacas of Springbrook Farm! Not that it was difficult, I just kept thinking I should contact them and see when they are open, and finally did. I spoke with with one of the owners, Dick Bolton, via email, who was very accommodating with times. My sister and I went this morning and spent some time talking with Dick about their alpacas and business. And of course, I left with a large bag full of beautiful alpaca yarn. Each skein has a tag telling you about the specific animal the fiber came from. I can't wait to knit some warm hats and mittens with it.

This alpaca farm is in the most random place. To get here, you drive through McMansion land and then, all of a sudden: ALPACAS!!! They were really cute. And very interested in watching us--like we were at the zoo and they were visitors.

Springbrook Farm breeds these award-winning alpacas, so if you're in the market for one, they've got 'em. Besides breeding and selling alpacas, they also have a farm store where they sell various alpaca items (yarn, blankets, etc.) It's on a residential property, or at least across the street, so it's a good idea to contact them ahead of time if you'd like to visit the store. It wasn't open when we visited, so we'll have to go back (I emailed them and they were very nice). We just wandered around and watched the alpacas watch us.

You can also have your birthday party here, if you are 3-6 years old. Too bad I can't pass for six...
