On The Streets: What Can I say, Alpacas are Majestic Beings!

Today, a few friends and I visited an Alpaca Farm that is located just 24 miles north of Omaha, in Fort Calhoun, Nebraska. The farm called, Alpacas of the Heartland is made up of 13 acres of grassland and woods, an amazing "log style" house, and a variety of alpacas to see and experience. 

We had the opportunity to meet Sheri and Mike Jacoby, who are the farm-owners of Alpacas of the Heartland. They told us about the alpaca showcases that they have participated in as well as interesting and intriguing facts about alpacas that we did not know about. 

Did you know...

• Alpacas come from the same family-line as camels
• Alpaca fleece is a silky and lustrous natural fiber
• Alpaca fleece comes in various natural colors and the softness is incredible!

The alpacas are really friendly and approachable. Some of the baby alpacas are a bit shy, but tend to approach you little by little. You can even feed them carrots and take photos of them, they are very photogenic. 

Here are some cool shots of the day!

At the end of our visit, we stopped by the little gift shop located inside the log house. Majority of the items were hand knitted from alpaca fleece which was then made into yarn. You can purchase your own alpaca yarn here too. They even had mini, furry alpaca dolls and alpaca ornaments! Our visit to the alpaca farm was a success. Can't wait to go back!

Plan your trip to Alpacas of the Heartland!
