Big Rock Alpaca Farm

One of the products that we have found very popular from our stand at Ashcombe’s has been the alpaca ski hat.  They sell for $16 and are very soft and warm.  The alpaca ski hats are also very colorful.  I don’t know that I’ve seen two of the alpaca ski hats that are the same.  Keep in mind that alpaca is 5-7 times warmer and wool and not scratchy like wool so these alpaca ski hats are much more comfortable than a comparable wool hat.

We have several of these in stock right now but they are sure to go fast at the open house.

Today was a beautiful fall day.  Hopefully next week will be as nice for our open house.  We did take the opportunity to do some work outside around the farm. We also visited another alpaca farms open house at Eastland Alpacas.

The final version of the post card has finally hit the mail on Friday so hopefully you will be receiving your card in the mail shortly.  If you don’t have one, feel free to print out the card here to receive the 10% discount off the purchase of one store item.

The dates to remember are November 8, 9 & 15, 16, 2008 from 12:00 Noon to 5:00 PM.  We look forward to see you.

  We’ve just completed our second Saturday at Ashcombe’s this weekend.  It’s been wonderful.  We’ve gotten to meet lots of nice people.  And the kids really love seeing the alpacas.

We will be there for one more weekend, weather permitting.  After that we’ll have a weekend off before our open house at the farm.   If you miss us at Ashcombe’s be sure to come visit us during our open house.

Come out to see us at one of the many events we will be attending this fall:

Sept 13, 2008 - East Berlin Colonial Day, we will again be on the grass near the post office and food vendors.  Come pick up some alpaca socks for winter.  Sorry, no alpaca will be in attendence.

Sept 27 & 28, 2008 - National Alpaca Farm Day, the farm will actually be closed.  We will be doing our product stand at Criative Acres Alpacas in Jarretsville, MD where you will be more than welcome to stop by and see us.  John & Renee will have some wonderful alpacas there for everyone to see and visit with.

Oct 4, 18 & 25, 2008 - Ashcombe Fall Festival, come out to a wonderful time.  In years past we’ve had loads of fun at this event.  There’s usually a corn maze, straw pit, pumkin picking and lots of other fall events.  We always look forward to the homemade apple butter.  If you haven’t gotten your alpaca sweater yet, this would be a good opportunity as there is usually getting to be a nip on the air by October.

Nov 8,9,15 & 16, 2008 - Big Rock Alpaca Farm Open House, our annual open house will be the 2nd and 3rd weekends in November.  Come out and see the widest selection of alpaca products that we have available.  Do your Christmas shopping in a quiet rural setting.  There will be alpacas available to see and feel!

We look forward to seeing you!

Our new website is now up and running. It still needs a lot of work, but all the data is current. One of the new features is that it will now have a blog so we can keep the site updated as to what is going at the farm. We also hope to post special deals on alpaca products periodically.
