What's New At Graustark
Farm LLC?
New farm tours available! |
|
Located in Bluemont, Virginia, we have always loved to share our llamas and welcomed people to just walk around the farm, and maybe kiss a llama or two. We have come to realize, however, that these visits take alot of time away from our other, more pressing jobs, so we are now asking for a donation of $20 for our farm tours. Being just a small family run working farm, we offer no real public amenities and can not handle large groups or buses. Visits are strictly by appointment only, as we are NOT open to the public. If you wish to experience llamas up close and personal, pay us a visit. A walk around the barns and paddocks takes about an hour and there are plenty of photo opportunities. We can even offer a small fiber project for an additional fee if you have time. Drop us an email to schedule a visit:

Camelidynamics Handler Seal
|

|
Linda had the wonderful opportunity in 2010 to travel to Ohio and Oregon and complete the requirements for the Camelidynamics Handler Seal. Even though we have been using many Camelidynamics techniques here at the farm for quite a few years, it was very insightful to complete the full training! Now you know that the llamas here at Graustark Farm are handled with kindness and respect in a safe and fun environment. The llamas sure appreciate it! Learn more at www.Camelidynamics.com |

The past few years have seen us taking in quite a few llamas whose owners could no longer care for them. These additions have created a definite over population here! Our life circumstances are changing as we grow older and much as we would love to be the forever home for all our llamas, our small farm size dictates otherwise. The fields are bursting so we are attempting to
reduce the herd size and concentrate on our fiber production and training! At this point we would like to go out of the breeding business and not worry about selling babies when we have them. Look
through our For Sale pages to see if we have
the llama for you! All our prices have been reduced and good, forever homes are a priority. Of course the guys would love to have a few dates
and the For Sale llamas can be purchased with breedings to our herd sires. |

Expanding the Fiber Side of the Business |

We are now offering private or small group lessons in spinning, weaving and felting. Or maybe you just want to learn about camelid fiber processing and what you need to do to prepare you fiber to use or send to a mill. Contact us for individual or small group instruction.
