A new arrival at the Alpaca Farm is Hallie-Jaye.

AFTER 12 years in Deloraine, the Alpaca Shoppe is relocating to Quamby Park Alpaca Farm at 374 Quamby Brook Road, just out of Deloraine. What a journey it has been! Jeanette and Ken Manning started out at Quamby Park Alpaca Farm in 2004 and from there, to the Deloraine Market. One of the first businesses to set up at Deloraine Creative Studios, they made a significant contribution to the building and development of DCS. In 2011, with the growth of their business, they set up the Alpaca Shoppe at 1 Emu Bay Road Deloraine, where they have been, and will continue to be, until June 30th 2020. Jeanette says that now Ken is in the nursing home they need to continue their venture ‘back home on the farm’.

Officially closing in Deloraine on 30 June 2020, the new Farm Shoppe will open from 1 July. Jeanette, Lyn and Lynne would like to sincerely thank everyone who has supported them over the years. Tasmanian fleece, yarn, garments and the Alpaca Shoppe’s very own Tasmanian Grown and Made 100% Alpaca throws, knee rugs and baby blankets will all be available. The new shop will also be supporting selected Tasmanian craftspeople, offering their products for sale. Please come and visit the new Farm Shoppe and say hello to the beautiful alpacas.
