These two are still looking for a new pasture. They are both 5 years old, Fred is the darker one, Wilma is the lighter one. Fred is gelded and they are very bonded so must go together. Message us if interested we are firm on what we are asking for them. If you are not serious please don’t waste our time, and don’t be rude when sending us a message because that won’t get you a response, I have no idea what is wrong with some people and why that’s how they start off.

UPDATE: It appears our babies have found a new home that is not very far away. We think its a great fit, and are going to somebody who treats her animals as we do, and ends up with extra animals who need nurturing back to health just like i do. In just a couple weeks our pasture is going to look very empty....

After 3 years of being unsuccessful securing a vet after ours closed down no other vet covers our area. we have decided to part with our alpacas. We love them so much and it’s a very hard decision, however we have to do what’s right for them. If you are interested please send us a message. Serious inquiries only, do your homework, we are happy to answer questions but we won’t let them go to just anybody, and it must be a pet only home. We have had interested parties before, and the set up was inadequate, and the water situation was inadequate. They are prone to parasites and require fresh water. Again, please do your homework so you aren’t wasting your time or ours.

Good morning, last week I posted we are parting with our alpacas and miniature donkeys. Read that entire post before you reach out to me about the donkeys or alpacas. We are in no rush, I will not let them go to just anyone. Do some research about how much miniature donkeys cost and how much alpacas cost. We are firm with what we are asking, more than reasonable and not asking more than we got them for. Don’t waste my time if you are not genuinly interested, do your research on your own, I am happy to answer questions if you are serious about your inquiry. I said the alpacas will only be broken up into two groupings so please do not message me asking to make your own……🙄 Also we have pictures, loads of pictures on our Facebook. To w**d out scammers you can go look at the pictures on our page, it’s redundant to send you pictures when you can already see them unless you are asking about specific alpacas. It is winter we want them to go somewhere where they will thrive and be loved. They are pets only!

Well as much as it pains us, we have decided to part with our mini donkeys and the alpacas. We have been unable to secure a vet since our large animal vet closed down three years ago. Fred and Wilma are available to go together as they are bonded, and the alpacas can be broken up but only in specific groupings. Please message us if you are interested, I will be very picky about where they go.

Alpacas are such amazing animals, they each have their own personality but you have to spend time with them to know them. They are a prey animal and do not show illness usually until it’s too late. But if you know them well enough you know the slightest thing that is not normal for that alpaca and can intervene. We have 9 alpacas and would like them to go as a heard for a reasonable price.

The donkeys are 5 years old and halter trained and you can lead them, but they are donkeys and everything is on their time, Fred is gelded and they are in with alpacas and goats and do just fine.they stand for the Ferrier and can be handled with ease.

The sun is coming out and the wind stopped!!!!!!!!! We have happy babies!

Well Roxy was shivering so we wrestled her to get a coat on her, have you ever seen an alpaca kicking and screaming? I have… even out of the wind it’s still cold because of the wind! This is why livestock require at minimum a 3 sided shelter. If you are going to pen animals in but not provide them the adequate shelter they need to keep dry and warm, then please rehome them or ask for help. Our animals are spoiled and have a barn to run into and a lean too, and they have shavings and straw bedding and some are doing fine and some are struggling.

I have checked on everybody so many times, put out extra straw, watching our older girls in are they start to shiver and need a jacket. It wouldn’t be so bad if the dang wind would just stop!

Sleepy Hollow Homestead

At Sleepy Hollow Homestead we are a family of 5, and we are always on the run, but we felt we needed to be busy in a meaningful way while being sustainable. We took our big adventure in spring of 2019 when we purchased a herd of 9 alpacas. One had just had a baby Cria the day prior to pick up and we had zero experience in alpacas. We drove 4 hours to pick them up and 4 hours back and we were so excited to play with our new herd. We have 4 females and 5 males, Roxy and daughter Marigold, with son Oakley, Dahlia, Mimzy and son Lima, Gander, King and Notallama. A couple weeks later we added our two registered Nigerian Dwarf Goats Buttercup and Summit, and the adventure began. We also have honey bees and chickens, and so we started crafting which was our purpose to start selling farm products. in 2020 we moved into a store that sells Vermont homemade products “Robins Rustics in lyndonville VT”, we offer felted soaps, Lemon honey foot scrub, dryer balls made from alpaca fiber, felted gnomes made from alpaca fiber, hand made wreaths with felted decorations, Nesting balls, and gift baskets and of course honey and eggs. Fall of 2020 we will be breeding our goats to sell goat kids and we will be making products out of our goats milk.

The farm always has something going on, for instance we just rescued a 15 year old neglected Goat, a VERY LARGE goat with horns We named him HANK. He is living with our intact male King and he appears happy to have friends. We also do a garden where often times you will find a Russian Tortoise Loitering throughout, you just never know what you will come across at the farm. We are available for visits on weekends by appointment only as we do have 3 children and are often on the go. If you are wanting to visit the farm or are interested in our homemade products please send us an email or message the farm page!! Thank you for the continued support as we grow our farm and we look forward to creating more products for everybody!
