Fall Friends

There is so much life on the farm, big and small. We've been enjoying the seasonal fruits from the orchard for months now, and with fall here, we continue to do so as the pears, apples, Asian pears, and grapes ripen.

In addition to the rich vegetation, the abundant animal life that surrounds us here is just amazing. The insects, birds, snakes, lizards and salamanders have all been particularly busy finishing up their summer business as the annual cool down approaches. Some of our favorite regulars lately include a pilleated woodpecker and a great horned owl.

We also have some new additions to our farm family to introduce, our new alpacas: Al and Paco. They are two young boys who come to us via North Plains Alpacas after we won them in a raffle (yes, really). Al and Paco are getting comfortable and seem to be pretty happy as they settle into their new home, especially now that the dogs have learned not to bark at them. Both are friendly and come over to the fence to say hello as people approach. Al is more confident and enjoys eating being hand-fed treats. Paco is more inquisitive and is always peeking over to see what is going on and who is coming to say hello. Al and Paco are a delight and we are so happy to have them here with us at Corner Crest Farm!
