While we do not have a farm, as yet, we are breeders of grey alpacas. We also hope to have a webpage up soon. Alpacas are similar to Llamas and both come from South America. Alpaca fleece is highly prized as a premium fiber for knitters and clothing manufacturers as it is a hollow fiber (great insulator without a lot of weight), very, very soft and most people are not allergic to it. They are also

have wonderful personalities and are very curious. They do not generally spit and have a pleasant temperament. They are very easy to care for and adapt well to most any climate and temperature. They are shorn once a year and the fleece can be used for any number of things from rugs, to felting, spinning and clothing. Alpacas come in 22 natural colors and the fleece can easily be dyed most any color as well. We welcome inquiries regarding our alpacas, yarn, roving and raw fleeces, all of which are available for sale.

For all my alpaca friends out there, some of you may remember Ron and Sue Waldron. Ron passed away this week :(

Ronald Waldron Obituary
Ronald R. Waldron

Ronald R. Waldron, age 88, of Campton Hills, IL, passed away peacefully on July 22, 2025, surrounded by family and love.

Ron, known for his larger-than-life personality and zest for living, was born on July 30, 1936. He raised his family in River Forest, IL, where he built a thriving candy store business that grew into multiple locations based out of Oak Park. After retiring, Ron didn't slow down he found joy and purpose in raising alpacas, embracing country life with the same passion he brought to business.

Ron was truly the life of every party. He had a deep appreciation for someone else's expensive vodka, claimed to be a world-class dancer (at least in his own mind), and had an undeniable love for the fast lane -- on Wall Street or the highway. He followed the stock market with enthusiasm and could light up a room with his stories and energy.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Susan; and his children, Lauren (Mark Kinnare), Mark (Melissa), Kelly (Patrick Phalen), Paul, and Amy; as well as Susan's children, Geno (Angela), Anthony (Katey), and Christopher Neri. Ron was a proud grandfather and great-grandfather to many, each of whom brought him immense joy.

Ron was preceded in death by his first wife, Karen; and his sons, Patrick and David.

His memory and spirit will continue to live on through the many lives he touched.

Visitation will be held at Yurs Funeral Home (405 East Main Street, Saint Charles, IL 60174) on Monday, July 28, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m.

A funeral Mass will take place at St. John Neumann Catholic Church in St. Charles, IL, on Tuesday, July 29, at 10:30 a.m.

One morning a husband returned after several hours of fishing and decided to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, his wife decided to take the boat out and go for a ride. She motored out a short distance, anchored, and began to read her book.

A short time later, along comes a game warden in his boat. He pulled up alongside the woman and said, “Good morning Ma’am. What are you doing?”
“Reading a book,” she replied, (thinking, “Isn’t that obvious?”)
“You’re in a restricted fishing area,” he informed her.

“I’m sorry officer, but I’m not fishing, I’m reading.”
“Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.”

“If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with sexual assault,” said the woman.
“But I haven’t even touched you,” said the game warden.
“That’s true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.”

“Have a nice day ma’am,” he said and he left.
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It’s likely she can also think....
