Rockville Alpaca Farm had some extra help this last week.  Grandson, Ben Gray was a big help doing clean-up and feeding alpacas everyday that he was with us.  In the picture he is getting Maxwell ready for the “Christmas on MacArthur” parade Dec. 12th.  I think Ben has done a great job with Maxwell.   Maybe we should call him “Alpaca Ben”

Our new baby girl arrived right on her due date – Oct. 17th!  Echo’s baby girl is a beautiful brown with those huge black eyes!  She was 16lbs when born and all legs.  The delivery went well (whew), the weather was great and had help from our neighbor Eddie.  Come by and see our girl…she’s so cute!

Our Echo is expecting her first cria! Oct. 17th is her due date, but you just never know when its a “first”.  So we are checking Echo several times a day looking for signs that she may be in labor.  We also don’t wander too far from home in case her baby arrives ahead of schedule.

I’ve put a pink collar around her neck so if you are driving by and want to know who is expecting, just look for the pink collar.  If you drive by and see a little one prancing around with her momma, then you know the event took place.  Please feel free to stop and get a closer look.

Shearing Day at Rockville Alpaca Farm is April 13th this year around 12:00 p.m. Anyone interested in helping/watching is welcome to come on over.  We can always use extra hands!   The alpacas will be ready to shed those heavy coats that have kept them warm all winter!

We always enjoy having visitors at our farm….the alpacas love the extra attention (and the extra grain).  If you are interested in seeing the alpacas, give me a call or send an email to arrange a time.(Info on Contact Us page)  Kids love alpacas…its a nice outing for the family.  My alpacas are mostly gentle and  very receptive to people being in the pen with them.

Come and see us – anytime!  Pet an alpaca…..you’ll be glad you did.

Hey Everyone!  Cinnamon Spice wants you to save May 17th for a special “Rockville Farm Day”.  Right here at our farm.    We are inviting the community as well as friends from outside the community to come and enjoy the outdoors.  There will be of course….ALPACAS! …..as well as some other farm animals.  There will be demonstrations, kids activities, products to buy, lots of “farm” stuff going on. More details to follow.   Remember – May 17th!

Before you turn us into the authorities, let me clarify.  Rockville Alpaca Farm is hosting a “Lets Get Naked” Mini Fiber Festival organized by Teri Phipps.  The alpacas get naked – every year in the spring we shear these beautiful animals to harvest their fiber to use in numerous ways.  If you’ve ever seen a newly sheared alpaca, you know they look naked.  Most of our alpaca will be sheared on Mar. 18th during the day – come by if you are able, but on March 30th, we will show you what we do with this fiber – from coming off the alpaca to finished product.  The event is from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

There will be a shearing demonstration on our “little” ones-and some adults, some fiber artists, a fiber mill owner and other local alpaca farmers with some of their alpaca and products.

Come on out and join us for a fun day – there will be some hands on demonstrations to help you get the feel of fiber.
