We offer felting classes here at the farm on a regular basis. Alpaca fiber is some of the finest in the world. Often, you can offset farm expenses by marketing your fiber and/ or selling designer pieces. A half-day class is time well-spent and you will go home with a finished piece and the skills to continue using your fiber in artful ways….and you'll have a lot of fun!

Photography classes

bhaLearn to present your farm in a professional manner. This is a full-day class with lunch provided. Learning to develop an eye and preserve a moment in time is a valuable skill. Alpacas can be difficult to capture but with patience, skill and a trained eye, it is extremely satisfying to create images of your animals that are of high quality. Please check our website for a listing of classes and availability.
