Mother's Day weekend means that the annual Mayflower Alpaca Show is in full swing. This year we took 8 of our boys to the show to have them judged by Kathy Klay of Ohio; in a full fleece halter show. More than 50 entries from the Maritime Provinces, Quebec and as far away as Ontario traveled to Crapaud, PEI to participate in this event.
Spring is finally upon us.
Posted on April 7th 2011 | 0 Comments
It looks like Spring has finally found us in Prince Edward Island. It was touch and go for a while with many Islanders in awe of the amount of snow we received this winter. On my farm, there were parts of my 6 foot high perimeter fence that were buried in a half foot of snow! But enough about the white stuff.
With the warmer weather here it is time for me to survey the property and assess any damage from the winter's storms. Alas, there are patches of my near 2000 linear feet of fencing that will need some minor repair. But such is the life of a farmer, I'm learning.

Tomorrow I begin my first of two on-line Alpaca Marketing courses offered by Julie Wassom, "the alpaca marketing coach" and I couldn't be more excited. While I'm looking forward to learning new skills to advance the profile of my business and to receive valuable feedback about marketing initiatives that I have already undertaken, I really can't wait to take these new skills see them in action.

Proudly Sponsoring the 100th Anniversary Celebration of International Women's Day in Summerside, PEI
Posted on February 14th 2011 | 0 Comments
International Women's Day (8 March) is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future.
In some places like China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women's Day is a national holiday.
Suffragettes campaigned for women's right to vote. The word 'Suffragette' is derived from the word "suffrage" meaning the right to vote. International Women's Day honours the work of the Suffragettes, celebrates women's success, and reminds of inequities still to be redressed. The first International Women's Day event was run in 1911.
