Alpaca Farm & Fiber Mill: Painted Sky Alpaca, Maryland

I finally get to see and meet alpacas for the very first time! I even got several kisses and saw a baby alpaca that was only 6 months old. The farm also had a mill, and I loved learning how the alpaca fiber is turned into yarn.
A huge thank you to @paintedskyalpacafarm for the best experience! This video is not sponsored, but you can learn more about the farm and mill at www.paintedskyalpacafarm.com/
Thank you so much for watching ❤️

Oh my goodness, how cute!! 🥰🥰

[@GoMandiMartin]

Jenna! Right! Haha. So, so cute! ♥️

[@JoeKyser]

I caught this one!! I have been to one of these before. I did work for a far,m once that had them. They are so full of character when you get to know them.

[@GoMandiMartin]

No way! I want to work on a farm! Haha. I want to adopt one of those cuties; I just wish I lived closer. It's such a pity that no one builds colleges out in the middle of the country.

[@JoeKyser]

@GoMandiMartin I did work for them. Painted the inside of the house and some exterior stuff too. Here in South Jersey there is a farm around every corner. Literally They squeeze them in a lot of times for that massive tax break. Zoning in a lot of places allows it so they do it.

[@GoMandiMartin]

@@JoeKyser Oh my gosh! I would love that so, so much -- if there was a farm on every corner near me. Well, farms with fuzzy animals that I could pet, and kiss all over haha. Cuddly farm animals, yes please! That's so cool that you did some work for your local farms. I hope that got you an "in" with the animals hehe.

[@JoeKyser]

@GoMandiMartin Yeah actually I have done work for many. Word gets around. I have some pet and animal stories from my days. There is always a new bond to be created out there somewhere.

[@GoMandiMartin]

@@JoeKyser I love that, i.e., that there's "a new bond to be created... ." What lovely and positive words. Nothing is better than some great goss about how awesome we do in our work, right 😊

Great and interesting video. We also have similar alpaca farms in Poland. Have a wonderful weekend 🌻

[@GoMandiMartin]

You do? That's so great! This was my first time ever seeing them, and that's so great that you have alpaca farms in Poland! I hope that I get to visit all the alpaca around the world one day 🦙

[@GoMandiMartin]

Mark! Hi ☺ Where have these alpacas been all my life! They are so, so, so, so lovey! Do you like farm animals? Happy Sunday! I hope that you had a great trip back home (I'm assuming) 🎉🎉

[@mdgriffith7]

@@GoMandiMartin Mandi!! So good to hear from you. YES. I love farm animals. I have some property in northwestern Wyoming in a small ranch community. So many animals. Never got to spend time with alpacas live and up close like that but definitely on my list. I do love my alpaca socks. Ah, yes. Seems like I had been on the road for a long time. Back “home” essentially for the month of December unless something comes up. Home can be such a loose notion, can’t it. It is where I stay as I work this job - a temporary place to lay my head down. So so so good to hear from you again.

[@GoMandiMartin]

@@mdgriffith7 Mark!! 🎉 Oh my gosh, that's amazing, i.e., that you own property in Wyoming in a ranch community. I'm pretty sure I was either a farmer-animal owner or a farm animal (hehe) in a previous life HAHA. Do you get to go and visit your property often? My tour guide said that many of the alpacas were "just like cats" and ahhhhhhhh, that's so true! They have the cutest faces. Goochie goochie goo! I certainly hear you about the "temporary" homes, and I'm happy to hear that you might get to be home for Christmas. Wishing you a truly beautiful day!

[@GoMandiMartin]

Good morning, Mark! I have a holiday card for you 🤶Is it ok if I send it via postal mail? Oh, and, I just found the other card that I meant to and that I would have swore under oath that I mailed to you several weeks ago. You'll get that one, too haha 😀

[@mdgriffith7]
