The annual NAFD alpaca open farm days is the biggest
alpaca farm community outreach of the year. BE READY this year with
a solid plan, safe and educational activities, and of course... an
excellent set of alpaca products to offer your local visitors.
OPEN FOR BUSINESS!
...with safe, guideline adherent local events at your farm!
Free to use, for your business, digital alpaca mask images (Tan or Grey).
We've heard from many of you on ideas for a great NAFD, with COVID in mind. Perhaps one of the best ideas is...
Create Learning Stations around your farm.
If social distancing is in play, have groups travel together to each station. Rotating on your signal.
Ideas for Alpaca Stations
1. learn about alpaca fiber, have raw fiber, felt and yarn available
2. learn about alpaca - have a friendly live alpaca or two there - how alpacas hate social distancing and how alpacs may a cure for covid 19
3. treats for visitors to alpacas
4. learn about poo! - what's so special about alpaca poo?
-how to compost
5. spinning demonstration, felting demonstration, knitting/crochet demonstration. Maybe have a fun pattern you give away that uses alpaca yarn with how much yarn they need to use.
6. alpaca coloring and puzzle stations
7. alpaca crafts - use cookie cutter - make an alpaca hat/grain "cookie", use cookie cutter and make a bird seed feeder or bird seed ornament, make ahead alpaca clay ornament and let them paint it
8. decorate your own alpaca cookie - pre make with our cookie cutters and give individual cups of frosting and our alpaca sprinkles
10. describe what makes alpaca products so unique during store visit
Ideas for Volunteers:
1. give them an alpaca watching shirt with their name on it and your farm name on the back
2. have a make your own alpaca pizza party after the event to celebrate using our large cookie cutter
