Program Description

Details

Join Mary Burns, as she shares the journey of her alpaca farm, from its humble beginnings over two decades ago to the thriving fiber-focused operation that it is today. 

She'll take us through the process of raising alpacas and transforming their luxurious fleece into high-quality products, giving insight into the craftsmanship behind each piece.

Over the past 21 years, her farm has evolved, shaped by experience, passion, and a commitment to sustainability. From breeding and shearing to fiber processing and product creation, the focus has always been on producing the finest natural fibers while maintaining a deep respect for these incredible animals.
