In 2006, Lucky and Lyn retired from the alpaca business and moved to Dorset, VT (ten miles down Rt. 30) and I'm fortunate to continue the journey they started. The farm, renamed Marlee Farm Alpacas (named after our first granddaughter) sits on a hilltop with views of Haystack Mountain to the north and the slopes of Stratton to the south. The 55 acre farm also has 500 feet along the Mettawee River.
The purchase of Marlee Farm Alpacas allowed me to consolidate the alpacas I agisted at Spruce Ridge Farm, in Old Chatham, NY (my thanks and eternal gratitude to Steve and Jeff for their knowledge, guidance and friendship) with the 44 alpacas resident here. Breeding and caring for these wonderful animals with their inquisitive nature is gratifying and a new lifestyle experience.
