Lazy Meadows Alpacas & Fiber Mill will be at the show on Saturday. Anyone that has fiber they would like us process, we will pick it up to help save on shippin...g costs. Great opportunity to get last years fleece out of the way to make room for this year! You can shoot us a message or email and we will find you at the show. Or you can just stop us when you see us...we have lots of room. Processing information is on our website at www.lazymeadowsalpacas.com. Any questions let us know, we would be happy to help with all your processing needs! See more

Pretty yarns ready to be skeined...alpaca and alpaca/merino blends.

Yarn going in the Farm Store this weekend! All skeins are 200 yd, 2 ply worsted weight and $20 each. :)

Every time we post a Super Chunk yarn people go gaga. Super Chunk is one of our #1 sellers at our store and have been increasing sales of our customers. Here is... a secret; they are made from seconds. Yep turn those good seconds into a fast selling yarn. See www.lazymeadowsalpacas.comfor details. See more

Farm work doesn’t make you stronger. It doesn’t make you anything. It reveals you. There’s gym strong and then there’s farm strong. They’re mutually exclusive. ...The toughest women you’ll ever meet spend their days on a farm. There are more uses for twine than you can possibly imagine. You can tie up a hole in a slow feeder, fashion a tail strap for a horse’s blanket, mend a broken fence and use it as a belt. Well that certainly didn’t go as planned, is one thing you’ll say quite a bit. Control is a mere illusion. The thought that you have any, at any given time, is utterly false. Sometimes sleep is a luxury. So are lunch and dinner. And brushing your hair. If you’ve never felt your obliques contract, then you’ve never tried stopping an overly full wheelbarrow of horse manure from tipping over sideways. Trust me, you’ll find muscles that you never knew existed on the human skeleton to prevent this from happening. When one of the animals is ill, you’ll go to heroic lengths to minimize their discomfort. When you lose one of them, even though you know that day is inevitable, you still feel sadness, angst and emotional pain from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. And it’s a heaviness that lingers even though you must regroup and press on. You’ll cry a lot. But you’ll never live more fully. You’ll remain present no matter what because you must. There is no other option. You’ll ask for so many miracles and hold out hope until the very last. You will, at least once, face-plant in the manure pile. You’ll find yourself saying things like, we have maybe twenty minutes of daylight left to git ‘er done while gazing up at a nonspecific place in the sky. You’ll become weirdly obsessive about the weather. You’ll go out in public wearing filthy clothes and smelling of dirt, sweat and poop. People will look at you sideways and crinkle their noses but you won’t care. Your entire day can derail within ten seconds of the rising sun. You can wash your coveralls. They won’t look any cleaner, but they will smell much nicer. Farm work is difficult in its simplicity. You’ll always notice just how beautiful sunrises and sunsets really are. Should you ever have the opportunity to work on a farm, take the chance! You will never do anything more satisfying in your entire life. **Copied from a friend See more

With sadness, we regret to announce that we are cancelling the 2021 Central Pennsylvania Fiber Festival to be held in May. We originally were hopeful but at th...is point in time feel it is in the best interest of our vendors, demonstrators and attendees to cancel this year's event and move on to planning the 2022 Festival. We are looking forward to 2022 and will start working on plans this spring. Last year we gave you the option of having your vendor fee returned or rolled over. We will be doing that again. Unless we hear from you specifically requesting your fee back, it will be applied to the 2022 festival. We will miss everyone again this year! The fairgrounds are reserved for next year - May 14 & 15, 2022 - so mark your calendars and join us then! The new vendor application will be up on the website soon so if you know of anyone that may be interested, please pass the information along. Also, if anyone has ideas for the 2022 festival (classes, demos, giveaways, etc.) please let us know.

Well apparently the skeining department is waaaay behind!!

Shave and a Haircut ... so fresh! Bergamot and white patchouli make this a fantastic men’s type scent! #handmadesoap #soap #menssoap
