Laura DiPasquala, center of the photo, got her wish today -- she visited an Alpaca farm.
The DiPasquala's said they've driven past the Northwoods Alpaca Farm in Bergen many times, but today was the perfect day to stop. Owners Belinda and Bob Grant were hosting an open house.
Northwoods is part of a tour of Alpaca farm tour in Western New York (the open house continues on Sunday) aimed at promoting alpaca fiber (it's not called fur) for clothing and promoting alpaca farming to increase the number of growers in the nation.
Alpaca fiber is known for its soft texture, moisture resistance, warmth and comfort.
The Grants have operated Northwoods for about eight years.
Laura and Rich DiPasquala are from Greece.
