Heat Advisory

Thursday, June 6, 2024 - Tuesday, October 1, 2024
Palmyra, VA

www.sacredacresfarm.com

With the extreme heat we have been experiencing, we feel it advisable to restrict alpaca walking to days when the temperature and heat index combined are less than 90°. On extreme heat days our alpacas choose to remain in their barns where the fans are or hang out in shady areas. We also hose their legs and bellies to help cool them down.

If you have scheduled a tour and walk on a day of extreme heat, please call or text us at (703) 945-0766 to check on your reservation. If you wish to cancel the tour due to high heat, we will gladly reschedule your tour or refund your registration fee.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. The safety and well-being of our alpacas is our prime concern during this hot summer. Thank you for your understanding.

Drop-In Knit and Crochet Group

Monday, July 1, 2024 - Monday, March 31, 2025
Palmyra, VA

Join us every Saturday for our weekly FREE Drop-In Knitting & Crocheting Group. Experienced or novice, our easy chairs are a great place to meet other needlecrafters, ask questions, get hints on how-to with needles or hooks. MaryJane is full of suggestions for finding help in this group or on YouTube. We can help left-handers learn how to knit and crochet. HINT: Use a mirror so a leftie can see in reverse what a rightie is stitching. Or check out YouTube videos especially for lefties. Come in. Find a comfy seat. Fix yourself a cup of tea or instant coffee. Then sit back, relax and share some creative time with others. You can bring your own supplies. There’s no requirement to buy our yarns. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday! #creative #sacredacresfarm #knitting #crocheting #free #saturday
