Christmas With Alpacas Begins!

We kicked off Christmas with Alpacas today at the Maine Mall! It was a great day and we filled the old DMV building with some of our great products, a kids’ craft section, and Liam, one of our animals. The post-Thanksgiving and Black Friday rush was awesome and we got to meet a ton of people. We loved hanging out with everyone who stopped by and Liam did, too!

Didn’t make it today? No worries – we’ll be back to the Maine Mall tomorrow with the same set-up, alpaca included! If you’re still recovering from your post-holiday haze, we’ll be at Estabrook’s Farm in Yarmouth next weekend (Dec. 6 and 7) to continue the Christmas with alpacas fun!

Here are some photos from the first day of the event:

Coast 93.1’s Rescues on the Runway Event

Piper-and-Clem-1024x870This Saturday, March 8, PacaNaturals’ owners Tom & Stacey will be showcasing their animals at Coast 93.1’s Rescues on the Runway event at the Maine Mall. This is the 3rd annual rescues event and showcases adoptable animals as well as therapeutic animals. Stacey and Tom will be talking about the therapeutic qualities of alpacas (of which there are many) and the several reasons why they make a better pet than some may think. There is a growing field of therapy alpacas who are trained similarly to more traditional therapy animals like dogs and horses. Alpacas are naturally gentle and docile and spending time with them can be beneficial to all humans. Be sure to stop by on Saturday, March 8 to participate in the event and to see some beautiful animals from Abbott Farm Alpacas!
