FARM COMMENTS

  • Jan and I really enjoyed your hospitality last night and we learned a lot.  Fountain Mist Alpacas

 

  • Thank you so much for allowing us to visit you.  You have a beautiful farm and alpacas.  We greatly appreciate the time you took to make us feel comfortable and get us acquainted with the alpaca business.  We are excited about raising them on our farm.  Rockie Top Acres

  • ...thank you so much for all your help, positive attitude and encouragement during this process... Shear Essence Alpacas

 

  • The fact that you are a smaller farm assures me that attention is given to my girls while they are at your farm.  Answering my "newbie" questions not even related to my girl being bred ... is HUGE....It's nice to know that there are people in the industry that care about the success of other alpaca farms.  Holland Acres 

 

  • Your support means so much to us!  Whistling Pines Alpacas

 

  • Thank you, Kathy and Ron, for believing in us, when we were new!  Your hospitality, knowledge and kindness are the qualities that help people grow and become successful.  We are honored to have Raphe's first beautiful girl Abby... looking forward to repeat breedings and referring our California friends to you!  Love in Christ, Pam and Al of Ranch Noelle, Inc. 

 

  • "Our alpacas are currently being boarded at Rose Crest Alpacas LLC.  They are a great farm to work with and they are helping us so much in our journey.  Many thanks to them!"  Jen & Ole's Alpacas & Organics

 

  • Ron, Kathy & Victoria Kasten have been great mentors.  We are learning so much and having a great time."  TamaRon Alpacas

  • Wore my new alpaca socks yesterday as I was working at the pumpkin patch. My toes stayed nice and toasty warm. Great socks.....  Lynda B

 

  • You went out of your way to get just the perfect yarn for my project at a very reasonable price, and it is so nice as well to visit your lovely farm and to see the obvious pleasure you get from raising the alpacas.  Great service!  Martha White Paas, Professor of Economics, Carleton College, Northfield, MN
 
  • my hat arrived and it is beautiful - so soft and warm - have to be kept in a safe place as one of my dogs loves tassels - so do I - what a treat - thank you so much

 

  • I just got the blanket today.  It's beautiful!

 

  • My feet are toasty tonight!!  They feel great and fit perfectly.  (sock purchase)

 

  • Well I must say thank you for the amazing alpaca hat.  I have been wearing it everywhere I go down here in Antarctica.  We got two bags full of ECW (extreme cold weather gear) and I don't even use the 4 hats that they gave me.  I have sent along a picture of myself wearing the hat while I was out on a hike.  You might also find it interesting to know that the hat was also on National TV since the "Today" show was here a week ago and I was in the background dancing around with your hat on.  So thanks again for the greatest hat ever!  Micah P
