It's getting hot in here - volunteers wanted!

It's hot and the alpacas are feeling it.  Even though they have recently been shorn, they alpacas feeling the heat.

How can you help?
We're looking for watering volunteers.  When it's 75+ degrees we try to hose the alpacas as much as possible.  Unfortunately, this distracts us from completing other farm duties.  There is a specific technique used to hose off alpacas and we'd like to teach you in exchange for you volunteering some of your time!

We would welcome you to come out to the farm any time it is 75+ degrees, grab the hose & start cooling down the alpacas! Especially the expecting mothers; having a baby on board makes this heat doubly unbearable! Aria, Sumita, MaryLou & Calypso would all greatly appreciate your time! (We would too!)

Requirements: 
At least 16 years old or under adult supervision
A love for alpacas

If you or someone you know might be interested let us know!

Fiber Frolic 2011

Whew! It's been a busy few weeks here at Northern Solstice.

We had an amazing time at the 2011 Fiber Frolic in Windsor Maine. It was great to meet so many talented fiber enthusiasts. We're looking forward to next year.

Here is a photo of two beautiful llamas taken at Fiber Frolic.
