Since we are around here weekly, we have to go back here, and try the food that looks good! The price was affordable, and I enjoy locally produced foods.

We walked away with $10 mushroom earrings for my wife, mushroom-shaped salt and pepper shakers, and a mushroom popsicle for our seven-year-old daughter.

Also, their fresh produce is really amazing.

Juicy, plump, you can sloppily eat up half a pound before you realize you need to save some for the strawberry shortcake dessert you promised your family and friends who are coming to dinner, LOL! This is a great place to bring out of town visitors who want to enjoy a truly delightful Pennsylvania farm.

Pam is the owner, and she is very friendly and professional. I emailed her ahead to reserve a private tour for $25, and we arranged a time. The visit is 45min, and at 10am when we went, you get to feed the alpacas, pet them (if they let you; they can be skittish), and learn about their species. Pam is good about answering tons of questions, and explaining her herd's personalities, and how life on the farm works. She also shows you some of their shorn fleece, so you can feel how soft and long it is. She explains the process of her shearers, who come from Australia, and the milling that is done in Peru (as there is no processing plant in the US). She also has alpaca hair wares for sale, such as shoe insoles, socks, yarn, dryer balls, etc. Pam was extremely patient with my toddler, who was very hyper about being in the barnyard with a herd of alpacas, and Pam's two adorable dogs. She gave tips on how to feed them, and how to best help my son attract the alpacas to nibble from his hands. I felt very safe allowing my son to be near the animals, because Pam was clear that they can sometimes kick if you get too close to their back sides, but the kick is normally not very hard. I made sure to keep my son in front or to their sides as much as I could. The animals were very tame and probably more afraid of my toddler than interested in ever trying to kick. Yet, at the same time, they were so curious to come into the barn with us when Pam was showing us her loom and other processing equipment. They are such gentle and sweet animals. Toward the end of our time, Pam hosed down the herd, who were super hot in May sun, with a year's worth of fleece on them. They will soon be shorn, but until then, they love the cool water, and went nuts trying to get hosed off. One was kicking her front paw like a show pony; it was hilarious and cute! Pam sells her alpaca products at local farmer's markets (more info on her website), but is open for pre-scheduled private tours, and also alpaca walks. Farm visits are open to every age, but limited to a group size of eight people. Currently they schedule private visits only once a day on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays at 10:00am. Visitors get to interact with the alpacas in the barnyard. Visit time is 45 minutes for $25 (group of 5 or fewer), or $40 for 5-8 people. The alpaca walks require visitors to be at least 15 years old.
