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!

They got a Christmas tree today!!! While it’s pretty miserable out with the wind, this hopefully brightened their day a bit.

Somebody was not happy recently… he had to make a trip to the vet to get his horns sawn off because they were growing down and touching his head. The inside of my truck smells like goat and looks like a crime scene…..

If you have a Christmas tree that is decoration and tinsel free, you can drop it off at our house! If you are close enough we will come pick it up. It’s a tasty snack for the alpacas!

RIP sweet girl.

Our girl Dahlia went down two weeks ago. With our help standing she had been getting up and eating and drinking until Friday. Friday she wouldn’t get up even with help, Saturday we tried again and she wouldn’t put her legs down. She ate and drank up until yesterday morning.

We thought yesterday morning she was for sure going to pass but our girl was too sassy for that. We kissed her goodnight and she went overnight. Her weight had drastically diminished in a short period of time. All we could do was keep her comfortable, she did not appear in pain, we kept her warm with blankets and a lot of straw for the cold weather we had this weekend. She got a lot of delicious apples the entire time which were her favorite.

Have a Christmas tree tinsel free??? Drop it off to us or let us know and we will grab it from you. It’s a tasty treat for our alpacas and goats, I’m sure the donkeys will strip the bark 😂

Still waiting for his furever home… we were hoping he would have one for Christmas, but it just doesn’t look like it’s in the cards for him. Please if interested in Idaho inquire about him

Our girl Dahlia went down last Wednesday. She can’t get up on her own, she has lost significant weight in a short time and we believe she has cancer. She doesn’t appear in pain, and this is her second time up today! I still don’t think the prognosis is good, but if she’s willing to try we are willing to help. Every day she gets an assisted lift and two spotters while she is up.

She just drank about a gallon and half of warm water and I am headed to the store later to get her some apples because apple bites are her favorite treat!

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!
