Llama Demonstration




Our llama workshop ended today with a demonstration for family and friends.



There were parents, grandparents, and even former-kindergarten teachers in attendance!




The kids and llamas showed off their skills on the obstacle course.


Their hard work and bonding really showed.



Everyone then spent some time walking around the farm and getting the llamas acquainted with their families. Then the kids recruited family members to give the obstacle course a try.
They quickly learned that it wasn't as easy as the kids made it look--bonding time is hugely important when working with llamas.

Thanks to everyone for your hard work and for making this a very fun workshop!!

Farm Tour



We hosted another tour of the farm this past Wednesday.


It was loads of fun and everyone took a turn walking the llamas in the obstacle course.
Busy putting up hay now to feed the critters this winter. We sure needed to see this sunny weather!

Llama Workshop



Today was our first llama workshop at Agape Hill Farm.


We had 5 boys aged 8-14. What an awesome group of kids!

Theses guys were just absolutely amazing with llamas--they developed trusting relationships through exploring the farm together,

,

hiking on the trail,



and starting work on the obstacle course.

I can hardly wait until next Thursday!
