FARM HISTORY: A third generation family owned farm since the 1800s doing crop and cattle farming, the present generation has altered its focus to raising championship huacayan alpacas. South Fork Farms bought its fi rst alpacas in 2004 and quickly grew from 3 to 5 acres over a period of 4 years. The farm began breeding and agistment (boarding) services in 2005 and maintains a 35-40 herd. The Bunkhouse Boutique’s grand opening was February 2013. It’s a oneof-a-kind store to Skagit County. Like us on Facebook under South Fork Farms – The Bunkhouse Boutique to keep up-to-date on store specials, milestones, and events on the farm. AGFARMATION: Because we are a small hands on farm, we train most alpacas to eat out of our hands. All alpacas on the farm are halter trained.
