He, himself, is so tenderhearted that he probably never would have chosen a business that brought with it the inevitability of animals dying. We all feel sad when an alpaca passes away on the farm, but I’ve long suspected that the Artist takes it the [...]

What better way to revel in the season than creating [...]

I am embarrassed to admit that it has been almost two years since we purchased our new (much larger) farm in Tennessee. We bought it with the idea that we would come home to Alabama, put our alpaca farm on the market, and move to Tennessee. We were hoping it would take a year or [...]
