Build-A-Bale Collaborative Blankets

These beautiful blankets were made by a collaborative effort of several alpaca farms in Maine.  They feature 100% alpaca fiber and were woven by Woolrich Woolen Mills.  Working together alpaca farms in Maine combined their annual shearing with the goal of producing a professionally designed, USA made alpaca product.

Fearless baby alpacas

Bangor Folk Festival

We had a wonderful time at the Bangor Folk Festival.  Despite the three day event being shortened into a two day event due to hurricane Irene, we saw a tremendous turnout!  It was great to see lots of familiar faces and meet many new wonderful alpaca admirers!

One of the few moments Robin & her spinning wheel weren't surrounded by a crowd of people interested in alpacas & their beautiful fiber.

Your job isn't looking very secure Pam.  This little guy is learning the in's and out's of picking and carding.

Take this job and love it!

We all get bored with our jobs from time to time. Many of us get the urge to switch careers...even if only for a day. WABI's Amy Erickson has been trying her hand at different professions.

She's gutted deer in the woods with game wardens...even played barber with a straight razor.

On September 14ths "Take This Job and Love It" report, she tries her hand at being an alpaca farmer at Northern Solstice Alpaca Farm.

Viewers will get a behind the scenes look at alpaca husbandry, daily farm chores and much more.

Watch "Take This Job and Love It" on September 14th to catch a glimpse of you favorite alpaca at Northern Solstice Alpaca Farm!

If you're not in the local viewing area or you miss the airing, we will post the story and clip for you to watch.

Soap Scents

(My personal favorite!)

No, it’s not a folk song or band from the sixties…but this soap might give you thoughts of peace and harmony. Rosemary might remind you a bit of Christmas… definitely a winter fur tree…soft and peaceful in snowy forest. Rosemary is often touted as the herb of rememberance…and this is definitely a soap you won’t soon forget.

Wrapped in a black label and ribbon, this bar is like no other soap. Pure and natural ingredients create an extraordinary, all vegetable, luxury soap. This gentle formula produces velvety suds and a rich non-drying lather that washes completely off the skin. Men and women love it’s woody, fresh scent.

Rosemary is woody, fresh, herbaceous, and sweet. It is believed to relieve muscular pain, arthritis, infections, exhaustion, headaches, relieves tension, antiseptic and promotes restful sleep.

Cedarwood is woody, sweet, fruity and soft. It is reported to reduce anxiety and tension, promotes restful sleep, antifungal, antiseptic and relieves arthritis.
Thyme is one of the most antiseptic essential oils and very high in antioxidant rating. It may be beneficial in helping to overcome fatigue and exhaustion. Sharp and woody aroma, helps improve circulatory, immune, skeletal, respiratory and nervous systems.

For all you goatsmilk soap lovers! Our naturally organic, farm fresh Unscented Goatsmilk soap is especially for those who have really sensitive skin or allergies or for those that don’t want a fragrance.
