The Crafty Alpaca with Mary Burns

June 09, 2025
6:00pm - 7:00pm

Join us for an engaging and inspiring presentation as we explore the 21-year journey of transforming a humble alpaca farm into a thriving fiber-focused operation. Learn about the fascinating process of raising alpacas and turning their luxurious fleece into beautiful, high-quality products.

This behind-the-scenes look at sustainable fiber farming will walk you through everything from breeding and shearing to fiber processing and handcrafted product creation. You’ll hear how the farm has grown through years of dedication, creativity, and a deep respect for these amazing animals and the land.

A variety of farm-made alpaca items—such as cozy socks, ultra-soft yarn, and charming stuffed animals—will also be on display, and available for purchase during the event.

This free program is open to all ages!
