Sharing our love for alpacas...
John and Corky Glisczinski started Farm Cabin Alpacas in 2018 after falling in love with those beautiful faces on the internet. John surprised Corky and their grandson with their first farm visit back in 2016 and it was an all-in initiative from that moment on. The barn was built in 2017 and their first girls came home in March of 2018.
Learning how to be great alpaca parents has been an incredible journey ("every day's a school day"). We've met so many beautiful animals and wonderful people in the alpaca community - all of which have been so helpful in giving advice.
We started out with more "pet" quality alpacas and have started transitioning our farm to higher quality animals and are excited for the changes we've made these past couple of years and are equally excited for our new additions to come in the fall of 2024 (if all goes well, we could have 2 crias born this year). We have 11 alpacas. In June 2022, we were blessed with our first male cria ("Reggie" was 18 pounds and a ball of energy from the get-go) and we are excited for him to be our first herdsire when he grows up! In August 2022, we welcomed Highlander's Snow White Aurora ("Rory") a precious little female cria (she was 15 pounds 2 ounces and is a very independent yet precious little bundle). Since Reggie is a growing young man, we decided he needed friends... so we went to the alpaca show in Kansas City spring of 2023, and we fell in love with two grey males from Joyful Journey Alpacas from Hayward, WI, so we brought them to our farm the summer and they have adjusted wonderfully and are a great addition to our herd (plus are "fan favorites" with our visitors).
We love to have visitors to not only visit and interact with the animals, we also have added our Warm Fuzzy Store to sell these amazing alpaca products so visitors can touch and experience the awesomeness of alpaca fiber. We do have many of our alpaca products available on our on-line store, but there's nothing like feeling the softness in person!
We do not charge for visits - we just ask that you CONTACT US to make an appointment before you come. We love to share these animals with anyone that would like to soak up the warm fuzziness!
REMINDER: this is a farm, there are a variety of smells, flies in the barn, dirt, hay and poo piles - so please wear shoes that can get dirty. Also, the barn is not heated or air conditioned, so please dress appropriately.
