Begin your day by visiting Presqu'ile Provincial Park to enjoy nature trails which wind through forests, wetlands, and meadows. Take in stunning views of Lake Ontario and keep an eye out for the park's diverse wildlife, including waterfowl, songbirds, and even monarch butterflies. You also get to visit the historic Presqu'ile Provincial Park Lighthouse, a stunning landmark that overlooks the lake.

Trip Highlights

Old Mill Alpacas

It all started with Eric (closet knitter) and Amy (self-proclaimed fiber fanatic). After being introduced to alpaca yarn, Eric informed Amy that “surprise, surprise” there are Alpacas in Ontario. Within 10 days of visiting an Alpaca Farm, they had purchased their starter herd of 6 Alpacas (two males and four females). They now have a farm of over 100 Alpacas (plus many more animals) happily gallivanting through their 24 acre farm.  

Alpaca fleece is lanolin free (hypo-allergenic), it wicks away 30-35% of moisture, it is 5-6 times warmer than wool, it isn’t itchy, it’s fire retardant. and the best part; due to its fine micron, alpaca is buttery soft!

From their own alpaca fleece they make their own line of duvets, blankets, throws, travel pillows, pet beds, and many other products and you will have a chance to not only be introduced to the herd but to also browse and shop through their extensive selection of alpaca products. 

What's An Alpaca?

Picture
In case you were wondering, an alpaca is a domesticated species of South American camel that closely resembles a small llama in appearance.

Alpaca herds are primarily found in the Andes of southern Peru, northern Bolivia, Ecuador, and northern Chile. Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike llamas, they were bred specifically for their fiber.

Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, similar to wool. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles, ponchos sweaters, socks, coats and bedding

The Big Apple
