Who needs an hug? While alpacas normally do not like to cuddle, Storm is surprisingly social and open to pets and hugs. Book your tour (or field trip, or party!🥳) and come get your alpaca hug! Call 859-408-5132 to reserve.

Happy to see a bigger turnout at the Madison County, KY Town Hall last night. Thank you to our public officials for making the time to discuss issues affecting our community. The short answer to everything in summary is “it’s complicated” so it’s important for all of us to lean in to understand what’s happening and continue to advocate for our community on behalf of our children.

Thank you WKYT for the feature (look for our owner, Alvina, towards the end of the video and quoted in the article).

Community members took the Madison County town hall meeting as an opportunity to ask questions and voice concerns.

Happy Easter! May God’s love guide your heart and fill you with joy! Thankful for our many blessings, including all of you for your support as we continue to care for Her creation. If you bought eggs from us, we would be super extra grateful if you posted/tagged us/reviewed them! 🥚 🌷💕

We planted 144 trees in this field! AND actually remembered to film video so you can join along the way! I not only keep forgetting to turn my camera horizontally, but I also keep forgetting to select a cover photo. YouTube will automatically select one for you. I realized in a past video, it selected a pic of the least flattering angle. Click over to our channel to watch this Silvopasture tree and shrub establishment come to life. Then click over to subscribe and find the referenced unflattering cover photo 😆 Want to come see it (plus the alpacas of course) in person? Schedule a tour by calling 859-408-5132!

Planting trees and shrubs into an alpaca pasture was way more complicated than I thought! This pasture has power lines, a septic tank, various soil condition...

While it may not have felt like spring today, these beauties wish you a joyous and hope-filled ! Spring is a super labor intensive season around here. I try to not get overwhelmed by everything that seemingly has to be done all at once. Add all the plans I dreamt up while cozy in front of the fire on those early winter nights. Yet when I walk outside, the daffodils are there to make me smile. Not just for their beauty, but for the love they represent. Our lovely neighbor gifted us bulbs our first year and has continued to bless our lives with gardening tips, hugs, and cookies. The daffodils in this picture were gifted from my sister we only see once or twice a year, but she can be here through these flowers to make me smile (and laugh because this variety is called “Carlton” so I’m supposed to think of the Carlton dance when I see them). Daffodils take little to no work to flourish and continue to spread, almost challenging us when they threaten to crawl out of their intended space to show the same love and generosity to others as that with which they entered our lives. I pray during this season of growth and life, we can all find ways to share love and joy, pushing straight through any crap that was shoveled on top of us to be even stronger and more beautiful than last year 💕

ATTN TEACHERS: Field Trip Season is here!!! We do custom field trips and large group tours at a discount! We’ve had up to 3 bus loads plus a lot full of parents join at once to learn about how clothes are grown. Will your class get to have this much learning disguised as fun?!
