Bird Farm Alpacas - Mission Statement
Our aim is to maintain a herd of around fifteen to twenty breeding females. The alpacas are like family pets and welfare standards are very high. The emphasis being to improve the fine texture, crimp and colour of the fleece by careful and controlled mating.
We process the fibre into luxurious yarn, which is knitted, woven and made into beautiful products sold at craft events and online, all practised under a Fairtrade policy. We offer volunteering opportunities and currently have adults with learning difficulties helping with farm tasks twice a week. A lovely opportunity for all of us!
Emma was kind enough to teach my three children (15, 12 and 9) to weave a bird feeder each, she was very patient, and they ended up with three lovely feeders to hang in our garden, and the kids had a very enjoyable and informative time, I highly recommend her courses.
