Griffonwood Alpacas
Nestled in the rolling hills of Florida you will find a peaceful place to spend time.
Come and enjoy life in a whole new way. The quite hum of an alpaca in the
morning with your coffee is an experience you do not want to miss.

We provide lunch, you have your own kitchen for breakfast, and dinners can be
in or out.  Weather permitting pool use. You would have to sign a clause for liability
release for Griffonwood Alpacas and the Leslie Home.

See our apartment and farm photos:  the apartment has a queen bed and a twin.  

You could:                   Just do what you want if just vacationing  -   but  

A flexible itinerary COULD  be:  Fix your breakfast, arrive at the barn around 8 a.m.  Work on
different every day things  (feeding,  water, poop pick up “so much fun”, spraying alpacas in
summer, cut a few nails,etc.)    ( bring old clothes for “hands on training” and no sandals or heels
please.)  The alpacas we have found are NOT impressed by how we dress, but about voice
control and respect we give them.

A casual lunch with us!  Clean up then topics discussion on different issues.  Alpacas -
huacaya qualities vs. suri, scoring, registry (how it works, what it can tell you, importance of
understanding the process),  investment, insurance, you and your vet,
gelding vs. herdsire quality,  maiden vs. experienced producers, show quality vs. advantages
based on fleece,    pastures, feed,  fiber, products, multiplying,  co-owning,
transportation,   breedings, and how to chose a female or  herdsire and how  qualities might make
the difference for your success, marketing and farm visits,  etc.   for a couple of hours or if still
raring to talk, we will supply you with answers to things you want to talk about.     After a few
hours of learning you may want to relax -    & if you are motivated, excited and want to talk after
dinner while sitting in the hot tub, so be it!!
If you already have alpacas you are still welcome to stay with us!

You can break off by yourself by the pool, read, relax, music and you  may choose
to check alpacas in the afternoon with Bill.   Or grab a blanket and go lay in a pasture
with a bottle of wine and some crackers, or sit with the weanling's and feed animals
some grain from your hands.   We can make a plan based on what you tell us your
purpose in coming is., we are person centered.    You might read alpaca magazines or maybe  a
nice mystery novel to get your minds “off of alpacas”!     We have found that
the quickest way to get some sleep after having “the alpaca urge” is to buy a couple!  
Count alpacas instead of sheep!   Alpaca fiber does not itch like wool!     Visit a few farms,
finding the people who you trust (checking references), is as important
as bloodlines.   Sometimes too many car dealerships and cars makes you confused on
which one has the best mileage, endurance, and quality!  Other issues:   Is the person
you bought from going to answer their phone and questions from you.   (As one
educates themselves, they will have more questions with more experience!)    If
after the sale, communication is gone - YIKES!           Remember we all have
different pocket books too.   One man can board one on a farm, another wants 6
“to go”!   Just like TACOS!  Ha  

Dinner and the evening are “up to you”.  We can tell you where to go for different
restaurants, for a sunset along the coast, or how to get to Disney, Tampa,  Weeki
Wachee Mermaid Show, canoing, or a movie if you want!  We can drive you to a
small country fiber mill and let you see her processing and products in our store.    Do you know
that if you came to learn and you purchase alpacas this year, you could
write your stay and travel expenses off on your taxes, gas here too, whether you purchase some
from us or not!       You may be from Michigan and want some sunshine in February and attend our
Jacksonville Alpaca show and stay a week in the sun at our place.   Co-owning opportunities  on
our males with us from anywhere up north might allow you tax breaks for visiting your partners in
Florida each year besides the benefits of owning together.       Whether for a day, weekend, or
week, we will help you achieve your end goals.    We are sorry, no pets please.

                     We are an email or a phone call away!
