Moms. Our first friend, our biggest supporter, the best boo-boo fixer, the person we lean on when times are tough, and the first person we celebrate with when times are good. The person who loved us even before we were born, who sacrificed so much to make sure their baby was okay, and the person who would do it all over again. Today is to celebrate you- and all your love you pour into every single day. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms out there- the two and the four legged! 💕

We welcomed our first boy of the 2026 season yesterday! He is a handsome little man, and is fitting in with the group already! Mom and baby are both doing great! 😌

DOUBLE BIRTHDAY TODAY! 🎂 who would have guessed that Keia and Monty would share the same birthday….but they do! We are wishing them both a very happy day and are so thankful for the hard work they do every. Single. Day. Although it seems like we catch Monty hitting the zzzz’s more (but only because he is such a hard worker at night!) Happy 5th birthday Keia, and happy 1st birthday Monty! Still remember when you were both tiny- and now Monty is WAY bigger than Keia at just 1 year old!

🪴 Reasons your garden wants ALPACA poo over other options

1. “Cold” manure (won’t burn plants)
Unlike chicken or horse manure, alpaca manure is low in nitrogen in a way that makes it safe to apply directly to plants without composting first. That means less risk of damaging roots.

2. Easy to use—no composting required
Because it’s mild and breaks down quickly, you can spread it straight onto garden beds as a top dressing or mix it into soil.

3. Slow-release nutrients
It provides a balanced supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium over time, feeding plants steadily instead of all at once.

4. Improves soil structure
The pellet form helps aerate soil and improves water retention, especially in sandy or compacted soils.

5. Low odor
Compared to many other manures, alpaca droppings have very little smell, making them pleasant to handle and use near the house.

6. Weed-seed friendly (in a good way)
Alpacas have a very efficient digestive system, so fewer w**d seeds survive the process—meaning less chance of introducing w**ds into your garden.

7. Great for compost boosting
Even though you can use it raw, it’s also excellent in compost piles because it helps heat things up and speeds decomposition.

8. Environmentally efficient animal
Alpacas produce less waste overall than larger livestock and are gentle on pasture land, so their manure is part of a more sustainable cycle.

Did you know there are two types of alpacas? Huacaya and Suri. Here at Crystal Lake Alpacas we have always had Huacaya alpacas (the fluffy ones) BUT yesterday we welcomed to our farm 3 SURI alpacas (they have long silky hair). Now when everyone visits they will actually be able to SEE the difference between the two types of alpacas! 🦙

Crystal Lake Alpacas is celebrating 25 YEARS of owning alpacas! It’s been a great time, and we aren’t slowing down! We are proud to be raising the THIRD generation of future alpaca farmers and we can’t wait for all the alpaca memories to come. We crunched some numbers this morning and over the last 25 years we have:
🦙 Owned 228 alpacas
🦙 of those 228 alpacas we have birthed on our farm 175 alpacas!! (That’s about 76% of our herd over the last 25 years has been BORN right here in Frankfort, MI)!
🦙 We have also sold 128 alpacas to other alpaca farms not only in the US but Canada as well!

I wonder what the numbers will look like in the next 25 years?!

Our guard dog Keia has finally made the big move down to the female pasture and she is fitting right in! Keia finished training up the new pups this winter and is now taking lead and allowing our 12 year old boy, Murphy, to “retire”. However, Murphy still is very proud of what he does so he probably will never fully retire- but he sure does love having his best friend by his side again! We captured this sweet moment with the alpacas (and Lola the llama) enjoying some quality time with the lady who keeps them safe 💕
