The journey started around 28 years ago when the family moved to an acreage in the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta.  Shortly after, a couple of loving, very mischievous standard spotty donkeys arrived.  Followed later by horses/miniature horses, 2 Appaloosa Llamas and a group of 10 Alpaca fibre males. 

Helped out at (CAN CAM) Canadian Camelid Fibre Cooperative with the fibre sorting.  In 2002 the children chose the name “Camelot Haven”. 

From a young age having a passion for arts and crafts, including hand embroidery, knitting/crocheting, weaving, needle and wet felting.  Started going to craft shows, fairs/festivals, trade shows and the local farmers market, promoting Alpacas and their natural fibre.

When I started to be more around the herd, watching their behaviour/interactions and how close they are. Alpaca boys often in their own groups/buddies. The females with their daughters close by in the fields, aunties, cousins and friends coming to greet the new arrivals. Something really started to pull on the heart strings. I think the alpacas have greatly pushed me into the direction, I think I may have always been heading and they have certainly opened my eyes up to animal behaviour and of course life.

Camelot Haven offered - Discover the Wonderful World of Alpacas and Alpaca WALKS to visitors, with the hope of each, getting to know more about Alpacas, while learning respect for animals. Alpacas are really intelligent and very intuitive animals. It was interesting observing the interaction between both visitors and the alpacas.
