Due to popular demand we are now offering half shares!

Alpaca Fiber CSA

Welcome all yarn fanatics! If you like to knit, crochet, braid, ply-split, etc, this CSA is for you!

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Our fiber CSA allows you to own a share of our alpaca herd and receive yarn from our heard as if you owned the alpacas yourself. You really didn’t want to clean up alpacas beans anyway, right?

What does a share of Alpaca Fiber CSA get you?

- CSA share holder’s certificate
- Monthly Farm Newsletter
- Finished Alpaca Yarn!
- Half share = minimum of 1.25 lbs of finished yarn
- Full share = minimum of 2.5 lbs of finished yarn
- Our alpaca fiber is blended with other natural fibers like Tencel
so that your finished products are machine washable!

What do we spend shareholder fees on?

- Feed/Hay/Minerals
- Veterinary fees
- Fencing and other barn maintenance
- Shearing fees
- Fiber processing fees
- Shipping/handling

Yarn will be mailed out to you as soon as we receive the processed yarn from the mill. Milling times do vary and we will keep you updated in our newsletters as to when we expect shipment from the mill. CSA shares cost $200 for a full share or $100 for a half share. You’re welcome to purchase more than one share to double, triple, etc your take of the harvest. We limit the number of shares sold to insure everyone gets a fair amount yarn. The amounds per half/full shares are listed as minimums because if we have a good shearing with little VM or short cuts waste we may have a higher yeild which would give you more skeins!

Share holders are encouraged to visit our farm and see what we’re all about. Please contact us to set up a farm visit!

UPDATE: We currently have black roving available for our CSA share customers.  2009's shearing is headed to the mill tomorrow to be processed into yarn.  This year's yarn will be processed into an alpaca/wool/nylon blend perfect for socks, mittens, sweaters, and other items that take abuse.  The wool give the yarn memory while the nylon gives it added strength.
