Lorien FarmWe specialize in raising animals with award winning fleeces. While nature does provide us with a few all-white animals, primarily, our herd is primarily made up of naturally colored alpacas. Their colors range from pale beige,to warm brown, to solid black. We are especially proud of our black fleeces, as they have an excellent hand, and constantly are awarded the highest honors in fleece shows. Shearing is usually done in May, and we sell our fleeces through our online store and by appointment at the farm. Visit our Blog/Events page to see the lastest shearing schedule. Fleeces not sold to handspinners are sent to a local mill. The mill spins the yarn, which is also available through our online store, and at various events we attend annually. Check out our section on females, males, stud services, and geldings for more detailed information about each of our animals. About 30 Huacaya Alpacas reside on Lorien Farm in the mountains of Western North Carolina. As alpacas are originally from the Andes of South America they seem to thrive in this area. For more on alpacas and their history from the Alpaca Owners & Breeders Association, click here. We welcome anyone that would like to visit during shearing season, or any other time, too. Please call(877.383.7579) or email us to set up a visit. |
