Our farm is located approximately 55 minutes from Ottawa on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River. We presently own 11 alpacas with anticipation of 5 cria to be born next spring. This endeavor is one we plan to continue into our retirement years which will begin within the next five years or so. 
These animals are a delight to work around and well suited to size of our hobby farm operation which is approximately 50 acres. We now have a marvelous selection of socks, yarn, insoles and felted pet therapy mats made from our animals fleece to market. We are always open for visitors and look forward to meeting and answering any inquiries concerning these remarkable and inquisitive creatures.
