What a great weekend it was here at WindSong celebrating National Alpaca Farm Days. Thank you to everyone who visited. Our animals enjoyed all the attention they received.

It’s always so good to have children visit the alpacas and hear their giggles. There was a lot of joy on the homestead this weekend.

Attention gardeners, landscapers and tree farmers. Spring is just around the corner and the alpacas at WindSong Acres have been working hard to improve, enhance and enrich the the quality of your soil. Google the benefits (high amounts of potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus with very low organic material) of adding alpaca beans to your soil and then DM me for details.

WindSong is at the Over the River Craft & Vendors Fair in Walpole. Come see us!

These side-hustles are hard! You may notice in the events below that we're supposed to be in Somersworth at the Crafters and Vendors fair with some of our animals and merchandise. Not because it'll make us rich but because we truly enjoy seeing people interact with our unique and gentle animals.

A lot of time yesterday was spent getting ready for the fair. Trailer cleaned, merchandise packed, hay stowed, and plenty of grain on board for the kids to feed to feed to the animals.

Oh-dark-thirty this morning and Les is haltering animals and feeding the rest of the herd. Animals are loaded and we make the two-plus hour drive across the state. Looking forward to what the day will bring but also anxious that we'll arrive too late to set up appropriately.

The GPS lady announces that we've arrived at our destination. The sign on the building says this is the place. But the building is dark, the parking lot is EMPTY and the doors are locked. What the.....?

A mad scramble on cell phones through websites, social media, and email. Did I get the date wrong? Wrong town? No, everything says this is where and when we're supposed to be here.

We wait, alone in the deserted parking lot of some mega church. No one shows.

Headed home, Les finally gets through to the event organizer. "Oh, I cancelled that by email either yesterday or the day before." she said.

Lots of time wasted. Animals stressed with a five hour round trip. Good will lost.

At home, I scour every folder of every email account that the organizer's cancellation notice could have landed in. Nothing.

I understand that emails could easily be misaddressed. But the organizer of this event had two phone numbers she could have reached me on. A simple, sixty second call yesterday to say "hey Mike don't pack up" could have saved a lot of frustration, stress and annoyance.

I realize that telephonic conversations have become passe'. Apparently courtesy, graciousness, and respect have too.

So, to any of our friends who might have made the trip to Somersworth to see us and the animals, I certainly apologize. I will make it up to you somehow.

Our llama Angie thinks we might just be ready for visitors next weekend. She’ll be looking forward to greeting you for National Alpaca Farm Days on Saturday and Sunday, September 25 & 26. We’ll be open 11 a.m to 4 p.m. both days. Angie promises that the alpacas, ducks, & chickens will all be on their best behavior and that it will be a fun filled afternoon for the whole family. (She makes no promises about the behavior of the guy who feeds her everyday!)

For those of you not lucky enough to be in southwest New Hampshire, please check out the AOA’s NAFD page and search for a participating farm near you!
