✏️ Additional Notes / Review: What a great overnight stop! The girls loved interacting with all the farm animals, especially the alpacas! Terry and Anita were so accommodating. We had to change our arrival at the last minute, but even though they were traveling back from out of state with several new alpacas, they worked with us on our arrival. Such a sweet couple and so committed to their beautiful animals. They spent time letting us interact with the alpacas and also telling us about the operation of the farm to include the lifecycle and care of the animals they work with. They have an onsite store that you can purchase fiber, yarn, clothing, and apparel as well as toys and gifts from. If you’re staying, they’ll be more than happy to open it for you. They also have an online store where the same items can be purchased – Circle W Farms Online Store. If you’ve never had a pair of alpaca socks, you gotta get some! They’re especially great for those cold nights when your rig’s floor is chilly. If you’re ever in central North Carolina, swing by and say hi to Terry and Anita, it’ll be worth the visit!
