Ah...summer

Sorry for neglecting the blog. Here's what we've been doing:

-We planted 21 trees and over 50 raspberry bushes. Most are growing nicely, and the orchard is sure taking shape.
-Our neighbor planted 2 acres of orchard grass / pasture for us. That is coming along really good. (Now Paul has to fence it all it!)
-PAUL LANDED HIS FIRST CLIENT! How cool is that? He's doing a logo for a fellow alpaca farm in Illinois!
-Chewy died. I'm still sad. We lost a cat (long story). We have two new foster puppies, adopted a new cat for the boys (to replace their cat who died in March), and inherited an 11 year old Dalmation when Paul's stepfather passed away. Phew.
-My garden is in. I promise, this will be the year that I keep it weeded......or not....

As always, folks, stop out for a visit if you're in the neighborhood. Sabetha's next cria is due in mid-August, and we're planning another open house in September. I'll post pictures soon!

Hello! Just discovered your blog when looking for local alpaca roving/yarn. We are on the far east side of Madison...would love to visit the farm and see what fruit you have this summer too! :)

Hi Denise,

Sounds great! I have two boys too, 4 and 2. We're still working on the orchard, but there are alpacas aplenty to visit. Send us an e-mail at offbeatacres@gmail.com or info@offbeatacres.com to set up a visit!
