Que Sera Alpacas
At Que Sera Alpacas (54 Jacinto Rd, Santa Fe, NM 87508), visitors can look forward to a lively market featuring handmade goods crafted from alpaca fiber and other local materials. This is your chance to browse and support local artisans, each with a skill set that brings unique products to life. In addition to shopping, families can enjoy live demonstrations that showcase the art of spinning and dyeing, a process that transforms raw alpaca fiber into beautiful, colorful yarns and textiles. These demos offer a glimpse into the hard work and skill that go into fiber arts, making it a learning experience for kids and adults alike. Que Sera will also be hosting a raffle, giving you the chance to win a $25 Gift Card.
Que Sera Alpacas will also feature live music from local singer Tim Styles, along with food trucks that offer tasty treats to keep you energized throughout the day. One of the main attractions at Que Sera is, of course, the alpacas themselves! Guests can take part in alpaca walks, where you’ll get up close to these gentle animals. It’s an unforgettable way for kids to connect with the alpacas while learning about how these animals contribute to sustainable farming.
Ghilie Dhu Ranch
The Alpaca Harvest Celebration wouldn’t be complete without Ghilie Dhu Ranch! As a new alpaca ranch, Ghilie Dhu is home to a charming herd of 14 alpacas, made up of 12 adults and 2 adorable babies currently boarded at Que Sera Alpacas. Visitors will have the chance to get hands-on with alpaca walks, where you can stroll alongside these friendly animals, learning about their care and personalities. The ranch will be offering insights into alpaca farming and the use of their fiber, making it a unique, interactive experience for all ages.
Casa Alpaca & Fiberworks
Casa Alpaca and Fiberworks, (18 Rancho Cholla Lane in Santa Fe, NM), will join along with Que Sera and Ghilie Dhu alpaca ranches to celebrate Small Business Saturday. We will have visits with the alpacas along with alpaca kisses. Our baby Gus will show off for you as he loves to jump and kick. After you’ve had alpaca visits, stop by the studio to try your hand at weaving as we will have looms set up. In addition, you can enjoy cider and cookies as you shop our farm yarn and gifts .
