2022 Events
National Alpaca Farm Days |
September 24 & 25, 2022
|
Join us here at Pronkin' Pastures as we celebrate National Alpaca Farm Days! We invite you to stop by and learn all about alpacas and their wonderful fiber! Meet the alpacas, feel the alpaca fiber, learn about raising alpacas, and shop for alpaca gifts! Our farm and shop will be open from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday.
7/2021: With all of our events in 2020 and early 2021 cancelled due to Covid, we have not had anything to put on our calendar. As Covid restrictions are now beginning to be lifted, we'll get back to posting events on our calendar soon. We are working on adding 'Free Farm Visit/Meet the Alpacas' weekends back into the schedule. As soon as we are able to offer up-close alpaca visits, we'll post the dates in the schedule.

Shearing Day at Pronkin' Pastures |
June 2020
|
As a fiber farmer, shearing day is one of the most anticipated days of the year! It's so exciting to see the fiber our animals have produced, and the results of our breeding program as we shear young animals for the first time. Shearing is a working weekend for us, so the farm is closed on this weekend. We do sometimes have need for a helping hand, though! If you are interested in helping on shearing day, feel free to contact us. It's a great learning experience as well as an opportunity to see the animals up close, and view fleeces fresh off the animal. As this is a working weekend, space is limited, give us a call or email us for details and/or to reserve a spot.
