Canadian Alpaca Farm Days

Alpaca Canada is hosting Canadian Alpaca Farm Days

 

We invite you to join us on September 24 and 25, 2011 when Alpaca Canada member farms open their farm gates to visitors. Experience alpacas up close and personal.

 

Learn about the wonderful attributes of alpaca fibre and choose from a variety of alpaca products to purchase or just simply get your hands into the fleeces to feel the alluring softness.

Whether you are curious to learn about the animal, their eco-friendly fibre or would like to find out more about alpaca farming, you will not regret a rumble through the country-side to visit an alpaca farm.
