Chela pays a visit to M&M Alpaca Farms of NC in Pittsboro for a tour with Leslie and Laina. Alpacas are cute, curious animals the require very specific care. There’s a lot to love and learn about these furry camelids!
Well, hello, alpaca face!
We visited the farm just after sheer day! They leave the fur on the top of the head as eye protection.
The alpha female of the group will alert the others with a sound when she perceives a threat.
Alpacas are curious yet stoic creatures.
You would never imagine the variety of hyper-stylish apparel and accessories that are made with hypoallergenic, flame-retardant, water-wicking alpaca fiber!
In Peru, alpacas are primarily raised for fiber and meat. Here in Chatham County, the animals on this farm are raised for fiber and shows!
