Sheffield Alpacas

A New Life On The Farm

Do you have a passion for making things entirely by hand or appreciate it in other people? In my teens and twenties, I got a thrill out of being my own mechanic on my old '75 Mustang. Yep, I've changed a few water pumps and brake pads. I have sewn every stitch of handmade rag dolls with a needle and thread (no machine stitching), and I prefer to cook from scratch. Isn't it much more rewarding to gather family and friends to put in fence posts, and raise barns? So naturally for me, prepping the fleece, learning to spin, and then making things from the alpacas' luscious fiber is my idea of happiness! -Kaylen

Hi! I'm Kaylen. Sheffield Alpacas is the small family farm where I live with my husband and our two children. Once upon a time we began to feel like Wordsworth's "The World is Too Much With Us" and we left behind the daily grind of city life to enjoy country living and raise alpacas. Maybe you have done this, too, or dream about it. We are still fairly new at it but we are having so much fun and there is no hurry.

This blog is about living life a new way and learning as we go. We aren't terribly fancy about it and we make do with what we have. That idea seems right in line with going green, up-cycling and recycling, and being very creative. If you have ideas we can use I'd love to hear from you!

Join me right here and share this journey. I'll share with you everything I learn so you can do it, too! (or at least not make the goofy mistakes we make)
