This! We have a great supply of alpaca beans for your garden!!

What's the scoop on alpaca p**p? Alpaca beans are a hidden gem for healthy soil. Unlike many manures, they contain balanced nitrogen levels that won't burn your plants, even when placed right at the roots. They're also rich in magnesium, which encourages blossoms (and more blossoms mean more fruits, vegetables, and flowers). Even better, they're virtually odorless and don't contain e-coli, making them a clean, safe choice for your garden.

Alpaca beans can be used in a variety of ways. You can broadcast and till them into the soil, drop them directly into planting holes for a slow, time-release effect, or use them as a side dressing for your favorite perennials. Scattering them in your garden and covering with mulch helps speed up decomposition while keeping moisture in the soil.

Whether you're layering a "poo-fait" or just trying to "roil your soils," remember: these beans do more than feed your plants. They support local agriculture—and some of the softest, friendliest animals around.

Collins started out the New Year, deciding to create leather totes!! He has prototypes several different styles making changes to size, handle type, fringe and shoulder straps. Which one is best for you? Wouldn't you like to have him make one for you??

This is one of the reasons alpaca fiber is so unbelievably fine and soft to the touch!

Did you know alpaca fiber is not only soft and luxurious but also scientifically amazing? 🧬✨

Like other animal fibers, alpaca fiber is made of keratin protein with a structure of overlapping cuticle cells (scales) on top. 🐏 What makes alpaca fiber unique is the height and length of these scales. In huacayas, the scales are tight to the cortex, and in suris, they’re even tighter, giving the fibers a silkier, softer feel. 🌟 The longer scales also create fewer serrations along the fiber, resulting in an even smoother, softer touch and a beautiful reflective quality. 🌟✨

That’s why alpaca fiber is perfect for cozy, durable, and ultra-luxurious garments! 🧣🧶
