Star Castle Farm is a member of the Emerald Valley Alpaca Association.
We began Alpaca farming with our first two boys in June 2002 (see Home Page for a photo). In December 2003 we acquired three more (2 females and a male). In September 06 we acquired another male. These alpacas are our first livestock (other than house pets) - we were already growing Lavender. Click here to view pictures of the animals. Click here to view moving the animals from WA to OR. |

Before alpacas, we started planting lavender and now have over sixty plants in our garden. We have mostly "Grosso" (which is of course purple), but also some pink and some white. Each July, we harvest and dry the stalks. Having lavender is a great complement to a Fiber Mill, since it is a natural moth repellant. We have made lavender wands, sachets, and heat pads. The lavender moved with us to Oregon and now is planted in the front yard. So we will still have lavender. |
