Small barn/farm ran by a lady named Mary and her poodle pup Bella at their home. She has 26 female alpacas and several llamas(sold all of her goats). They are all rescues, don’t breed, and she sells their fiber to support feeding/taking care of them. Mary knows her stuff! She explained the entire process to us as well as gave us a full history on alpacas and answered all of our questions. We got to pet the animals and see the fiber shack(a little shed) which is where she keeps her fiber, yarn, and other goods she’s knitted or had shipped in from peru. We bought a couple skeins of yarn, some llama socks, and several little bags she’s had made with their logo. It was the best thing we did all weekend. If you enjoy farms or yarn give her a call first(google) and make a stop! We spent an hour here just enjoying the animals.

I’ve been to Paradise Found a couple of times already, and I love coming here and seeing the various animals they have. The farm is actually a rescue for animals that are not able to be bred, so they just take care of them and use their hair to pay for the costs of care. They have Alpacas(my favorite!), Llamas(big guys and gals), and Pygora Goats. You get to see the animals and you can hear about their history and how they’ve evolved over the years. Aside from the animals themselves, you can also buy fibers from their shop. Most of the fiber comes from the animals on the farm, and all of the profits go back into taking care of the animals. They have yarn, hats, scarfs, leg warmers, gloves, socks, and just about any other type of fiber product you can think of. The Alpaca fiber is my favorite… it’s so soft and warm. I highly recommend visiting the farm. It’s a little hard to find off the the main road, but they have signs to guide you so it’s not too bad. All in all, it’s a great experience for adults and kids alike.
