WINTER 2025!! Happy New Year!
This winter season we will be attending the Farmington Winter Farmers Market every Saturday from 10 AM to 1 PM at the St. Joseph's Center. We will not carry our full line of alpaca products every week (due to space limitations), but if there is something that you would like for us to bring, let us know. We DO request of any of our friends that come on Saturdays, please bring something to donate to the St. Joseph Nutrition Center as you come in. Many in our community depend on it being stocked.
Our farm store provides a variety of alpaca-made and alpaca-related products, including warm winter socks and accessories, blankets, alpaca and mixed-fiber yarns and rovings, stuffed toys when available, and other useful things. We are an Ashford Spinning wheel dealer and can order anything needed. Seasonal garden vegetables are not currently available. *WINTER EGGS are available in our RED COOLER near our mailbox.
If the store is open, self-guided farm visits (outside the paddocks) are FREE to visitors. Feeding Tours, where you can go into the paddocks with the alpacas/llamas for an up-close and personal experience and feed them by hand will be available by appointment for $10 per person ($5 for children under 12).
We were licensed in 2024 as a cottage kitchen and have baked goods (muffins, cookies, breads) available. When available, these are stored in our egg fridge or inside our farm store when we are open.
Annual SHEARING DAY is in early June. The alpacas will go from fluffy-stuffies to skinny-minis all in one day. Starts early +/- 8:30 AM. Dates TBD in early Spring.
FIBER CLASSES: We are considering offering classes thru the local adult education locations (as our parking is limited). Under consideration are needle felted pictures, peg looming, and cording with a lucet (maybe tapestry loom weaving). I do offer fiber spinning lessons (on a spinning wheel) on a one-to-one basis here at the farm. If you are interested in that, contact me here or text to my cell (7742540332) and we can set that up.
We offer Alpaca Strolls when weather permits! We have some nice (alpaca) boys who are more accustomed to being handled who will walk with you on paths around the farm. Reservations are preferred. These are weather dependent; if it's raining or too hot or too icy, we will reschedule your reservation for a better time. These are priced at $10 per person. Limit 5 alpacas out at a time. Children need to be accompanied by an adult.
Happy Snowman Alpaca Farm is a family farm established in 2014, located in the Maine foothills. We are primarily focused on fiber production and agritourism. We are members of Harvest Hosts offering overnight stays at the farm for small and medium-sized RVs. We are former 4-H leaders, working with kids in various events and competitions, including farmers' markets, county fairs, and The Big E.
We look forward to seeing you in 2025!
