Wow. So now we have experienced a month and a week of 2018 and it has sure been a cold one! I don’t know about you, but I’m awfully thankful for alpaca socks to wear for doing chores, around the house, to work and…well…anywhere that you can. The crisp cold mornings are certainly invigorating, but […]
Sundrop Alpacas has been very quiet on our blog for a while, but quite busy on the farm. This year marks the completion of our third year in business. We are finding that running a business is HARD WORK! But, rewarding as well. We have built a network of lovely friends that we never would have […]
Our summer is going well here at Sundrop Alpacas. We have made progress on our Farm Truck and hope to participate in some parades next year. Baby Alpacas! We LOVE baby alpacas (crias) and have two of them this year. Both are absolutely adorable. Grace gave us a baby girl on May 11th. She came […]
Now that we have a truck that can move on its own, I (Lisa) become more inspired to work on it. We are planning on this truck being used around the farm and around town. That being the case, it definitely needed lights. This last week I worked on adding lights and wiring them all […]
Oh yes, we are not kidding, come visit us on Sunday, April 2nd from 2-4:30 PM and YOU can paint an alpaca! Now for the fine print: This is a special event by Canvas and Corks. Creativity is highly encouraged, however painting (as in applying paint to one of our alpacas), is highly discouraged. We […]
Golly, how about that weather we are having? While it is great for people like me because I usually dread February, it is bad for business, when your business is selling things to keep you warm! With that being the case, we have cut back on the hours we’ll have our store open. Now, since […]
Great news! Our in-house team worked without rest, tackling the engine, transmission and drive-shaft issues. A new drive shaft was custom fabricated. This was a job that a local machine-shop was unable to tackle. But we do not take no for an answer, so an industrious friend or two managed to make a perfect drive […]
Not a good surprise This weekend we managed to round up more parts for farm Truck! With the help of 5 men and a backhoe we brought home a bunch of goodies. A gas tank, transmission (wait, didn’t we already have a transmission?), the truck bed and assorted small parts. We are still missing the […]
For those of you following Farm Truck, you may be wondering, “What is the delay?” Well, Farm Truck came to us in pieces. Lots and lots of pieces. And not all of those pieces lined up. So after the initial fitting of pieces together, we’ve reached the point of BIG pieces. Farm Truck is destined […]
