bounty of our veg garden
Want to have a beautiful healthy garden? Try alpaca poop compost! Here on the farm, we do not use chemicals or fertilizers. Instead, we compost our alpaca poop and use that in our gardens, flower pots, and as fertilizer for our grazing fields in the fall. By doing so, you are not only being more eco-friendly but your plants will LOVE it! Just take a look at the bounty of our organic vegetable garden and plants around our yard. Contact your local alpaca farm and we are sure they have some to spar read more...

Sicilia Family
We'd like to extend a huge WELCOME to Sicilia Farms who recently joined the ever growing DHF family. The Sicilia's now have Chase Tavern Mr T, a tremendous 1/2 Accoyo herdsire standing on their farm in Mullica Hill, NJ. As recent newcomers to the alpaca community, Antonio and Serenella have jumped in with a big splash, acquiring Accoyo and Snowmass girls from our showstring and Mr T to raise the bar even higher. We are thrilled to embrace them into our family and look forward to many years of f read more...

Our fleeces at the Little Creek Farm collection site
For the first time, we are participating in the Alpaca Coalition of America's National Fleece Collection Initiative. For this project, farms from all over the country send skirted blanket fleeces of different grades and colors to various collection sites. Collection sites are scattered throughout every region. Once collected, all the fleeces will be graded and sorted. This year at Little Creek Farm, Winnie Labrecque and an expert team will be sorting and grading. A summary report of each farm's read more...

Brandy
We'd like to start bragging about our newest addition to our elite foundation females, Pucara's Artic Legacy's Brandy. This girl is not only beautiful, she has extreme density on a very consistent beautifully structured fleece. And what genetics she has!! Her sire is Snowmass Artic Legacy XX (Snowmass Artic Wind/Snowmass Legacy Lace; now standing in Canada), and her dam is Tequila's Brandi (Hemingway). How could anyone possibly make that genetics powerhouse any better? Well, Brandy is currently read more...

Taming the Shark
We just recovered from our 9th annual shearing festival, FurFest. Wheww! What a great time we had. Weather couldn't have been better, volunteers and shearers worked their tails off the entire day, but were rewarded with a big New York style "Sharknado" party. Oh, and who could forget the alpaca birth right in the middle of shearing; a special treat for everyone to see a newborn alpaca cria. For Sharknado, we had shark hats,SharkNado t-shirts for all and the open bar was stocked with Landshark be read more...
