It Started With Two
GSA was born when we adopted two alpacas, Tauri and Fiona from a large farm in Vermont as the owners were closing down for retirement. Raspberry joined us three months later from the same farm and we started laughing about our "herd"!
Within four months however, we adopted Tia & Bailey from a farm in Massachusetts that was no longer able to care for them.
Melody arrived next to round out our troop, and we thought that was a great fit for our little farm, but we were delighted when our friends in Vermont approached us about taking on their last two girls.
Amity and Sparrow now bring the number to eight.
Our alpacas are all sweet-natured females with individual personalities ranging from quiet and shy to downright silly and playful.
They are very smart and trainable as well. In return, they mow our pasture and provide an an annual supply of fiber that we turn into yarn, felted dryer balls, rug yarn, and finished products handmade by us.
We love working with these gentle animals and their fiber.
