Yesterday kicked our farm booties!!!👩🏼‍🌾🌾 Spent 6 hours driving a trailer to fill it with the best orchard grass I could find for our camelids to get them through the winter & into spring. Our bodies are WHOOPED!!!🤪 Jonah & a friend helped me stack 120 bales in the new pastures barn. The boys are delighted with the leafy orchard grass & so are the ladies!!!🦙😍

Come scoop your local honey yumminess up on Sundays at Factory Farmers Market 12-3 or Wednesdays 4-7 through October!!!🐝 So great to help fight seasonal allergies & sore throats!!!🌸

I’m diggin the Wednesday & Sunday farmers markets at the Franklin factory better then the Saturday one, they are dog friendly!🐶 I went to the Saturday farmers market about a month ago with Willie, our certified healing/therapy Great Pyrenees & a gentleman told me we weren’t welcome at that market. You all know how I feel about dogs…😍 Jonah & I often joke about charging $5 to pet Big Willie for 5 minutes as he’s so healing & makes everyone happy. Can’t wait to breed him next year with the sweet Sugar from our fellow alpaca friend Kelly Laurenzi !🎉

How did I miss ?!🤪 Here’s sweetie pie Josie with Jonah, she’s “special”!🦙🤣😍

We are officially on puppy alert!!! After 2 breeding attempts, Dolly (AKA “Chunk”) & Big ass Bear (200lbs) have connected multiple times & their adorable & massive Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Sheperd livestock guardian puppies should be making their debut the week before Thanksgiving!!!🐶🎉 It’s been 2 yrs since we had our last litter. This has been well thought out, lots of separating when Chunk came into heat, lots of fights I had to break up from Brutus & Cesar fighting from her smell for a few weeks, multiple 2 hour drives to take Chunk to be bred until she was finally open & accepting of Bear, but it’ll all be worth it in a few months!!! These puppies will grow to be some of the biggest LGD’s I’ve personally seen, smartest, most confident yet sweetest & friendly when not in work mode. Jonah & I are beyond thrilled & momma Jolene is going to be a great midwife for Chunk & grandma to her puppies!❤️

🌿PLANT POOP!!!🌿 Fiber, Feather & Fur Farm is sharing our alpaca beans with you at the Factory Farmers Market on Wednesday 4-7:30 & Sundays 12-3. I add a handful of alpaca beans to every plant in my house every few months or about 1/4-1/3 of a new plant I pot. It really helps with denser growth & is a natural fertilizer without any chemicals!!! Come pick up your Plant P**p this week!!! And don’t worry about supplies running out…🦙💩🌿🤣

Yesterday I took a few pieces to a local gallery in Leipers Fork & a piece to a clients home that I made using natural materials & textiles, mostly alpaca fiber from my herd.🦙 I get deeply attached to the pieces I make, I feel the energy of the animals I love so dearly & am truly grateful to be using my mind & hands to create art that brings people joy to see & touch. The rug is also from my alpaca fiber, such a treat for your feet!😍 I am diligently making 3 more pieces for the Grand Hall art show at the factory this coming Friday, Sept 6th 6-9 & a few more rugs this week. I seriously get no sleep….🤪

I’ll have display samples this Wednesday & Sunday at Factory Farmers Market if you’d like to come by to see in person, feel the softness of the rugs & experience the different art pieces I make. Thank you kindly for your support, I appreciate my friends & community!!!👩🏼‍🌾❤️

A magical being was born on our farm this past Friday, Marbella de Gratus, Marbella the grateful, kind, peaceful. She lived 3 loved filled days. We lost her last night, devastated, but filled with love from friends, livestock guardian dogs & the herd. RIP sweet Marbella….❤️🦙

The alpacas got haircuts!!!✂️🦙 Time to make more rugs & art!!🎨

🦙✂️My camelids got sheared last week, 17 of them!✂️🦙 It took most of a day, lots of prep work the day before to move them to the barn while keeping the sexes separated. I had to keep them dry from torrential downpour the night before! We set up big tents in the dry lot, filled a barn stall with my 7 ladies, the other with 2 older studs while the teenager males laid in several inches of straw in the paddock to stay dry all night the night before. Then I used the powerful leaf blower to dry them up & blow out the straw the next morning!💨 The shearers can’t shear them if they are wet as it’ll blow the motor out in their equipment, plus fiber can get moldy if not processed right away if wet.😬 I use their fiber to make wall hangings, rugs, dryer balls mostly. The crap fiber that’s not really useable, I can stuff bird nesting balls with it, use it to line my beehives for insulation or in the garden to keep away bugs. There’s so many uses for alpaca fiber!🦙🎉 This is Millie, she’s getting her blanket (body) sheared off, this is the best of their fiber.😍 Getting camelids (I have mostly alpacas & 2 llamas) sheared every spring helps them not to overheat in summer months. If they get wet in the rain having thick fiber, it acts like a sauna & they will overheat. Their fiber is natural body wicking, though, so excellent for socks, insoles in boots, sweaters, scarves, blankets, too! If you have sensitive skin, the hypoallergenic properties of their fiber make a better choice for you, plus it’s softer then wool & other natural fibers.🦙🐑🐐 I collect 3 bags of fiber per alpaca every year, then take it to my fiber mill a few hours from my farm where they pick it clean, wash it, lay it out to air dry in a special ventilated room, then process the fiber into rug yarn, skeins of yarn & dryer balls for me. I can even use the fiber not able to be processed (junk fiber) to felt natural goat soaps Jonah & I make! Have you ever tried felted
