Merlin had a magical transformation!!!
We were so impressed with Merlin’s calm cool attitude durning his first hair cut!
He had SO MUCH FIBRE!!! About 7” long and weighed over 4lbs...pretty good for a little guy! We were surprised to find a pop of light fawn in his leg-pits😂
He is looking very handsome with his sleek new look. Come visit Merlin and all his friends...please book ahead online.

Meet Merlin. 🦙

Merlin is one of our brown alpacas, and he holds a slightly unusual distinction at Harmony Meadows: he has never been shorn. Not once.

He is, as you might guess, very fluffy.

This year, on Shearing Weekend (June 6 + 7), Merlin is getting his very first haircut. We're beginning to halter-train him in the lead-up so hopefully the day goes more smoothly for him — we'll share his progress along the way.

Come meet Merlin before or after the transformation. He'd appreciate the company.

Tickets: $12 online · 5 and under free · valid both days · link in bio

It was a rainy day Fibre Festival today! A huge THANK YOU to the FFF crew on doing their absolute best to keep everyone safe. Kudos to the intrepid vendors and the amazing visitors who braved today's intense weather. 🌧🌪
We had to shut down early as the winds got dangerously high...a disappointment to be sure, but not much we can do when Mother Nature has other plans.
Now we are home and drying out our lovely alpaca stuff...we'll need to replace a few labels due to wetness, but alpaca is a very hardy fibre, so all our products will be just fine!
Stay tuned for a before and after of our fluffy alpaca stuffies that took the brunt of the wind and rain 🙃
p.s. while we love bringing our alpacas to this event, we left them home today...it just wouldn't have been fair to them

Your kindness, hard work, and sense of humor make even the busiest farm days better. Whether you’re fixing fences, wrangling alpacas, or cracking jokes at just the right moment, you make a difference every single day:)
Thank you for everything you do!

Oakley’s first time in a halter, very scary!

Although scary this time, he will very soon figure out nothing bad is going to happen:)

Why bother?
We like to halter train our alpacas at a young age. This encourages them to trust us, and makes handling safer for everybody:)
