We are located on the border of the Seneca Indian Nation in southwestern New York State between Salamanca and Jamestown, in a region heavily populated by the Amish. We raise suri alpacas and Sebastopol geese. In addition to production and show quality livestock, we sell raw fleeces, rovings and hand- and millspun yarn. I can often also offer suri fleece that has been allowed to reach 10-14 inches in length for sale to doll artists, crafters and collectors. Fleeces are often reserved a year in advance, so please contact me if you would like to reserve fiber from next year's shearing.
We practice a livestock model of production, in which our excess males 3-years of age or older are harvested for meat production. Alpaca meat is extremely lean, has high protein, and antibiotic-free. It has a very delicate flavor that absorbs spices and marinades exceptionally well to create highly flavorful and healthy meals. Particularly well suited for meatloaf, meatballs, chili, stew, goulash and sauces. Call for availability and pricing.
We practice sustainable farming (using Holistic Management practices), and are members of a network of local farms working to develop closer relationships between consumers and producers in our area through education, farm visits and promotional events and activities designed to help our members market directly to consumers. We can be found at Fiber Festivals in New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio between April and October, and at The Cross Roads Farm and Craft Market in Westfield, NY, from October 1 until the Saturday before Christmas.
We welcome farm visits. Give us a call or send us an e-mail to arrange a time to see what's happening here!
