Jersey Shore Alpacas:

A little farm located about 10 miles north of Green Creek, New Jersey; called Jersey Shore Alpacas is one of the most unique sights in the Cape May area. Jersey Shore Alpacas is a small farm owned and maintained by Jim and Tish Carpinelli and situated in Greek Creek, a small town near historic Cape May, NJ. At the farm Alpacas are well cared for their health and happiness. The farm focuses on agritourism. When considering their retirement in 2005, Tish and Jim Carpinelli became fascinated with alpaca farming, a cottage business that was flourishing at the time. The couple purchased the pregnant females Andina and Chanel No. 5 as well as a gelding named Cherokee in the hopes that they would spend their next chapter in the agritourism industry. Oliver and Annabel Lee, two infants, instantly bonded with the herd. Soon the school librarian and Coast Guard veteran were alpaca farmers. The venture did not go well as planned. In fact, Tish waited for a sign from God to continue the business or else they have to end the business. Fortunately, within few months five-star reviews were posted by a group of visitors on Trip Advisor and other websites. Tish believed that the positive reviews helped them grow bigger and better. At the roadside attraction in Green Creek you will know everything regarding these doe-eyed animals. They are a domesticated form of the swift-moving vicuña, which is found in South America’s Andes Mountains. They are smaller and daintier than llamas and camels yet nonetheless linked to them.

While alpacas are raised primarily for their ultra-soft, super-warm fleece, which can be woven into yarn for scarves, gloves, and other upscale garments, as well as bedding and even braided carpets and baskets, unlike their genetic cousins who are frequently used as beasts of burden. Each of the farm animals generates enough wool to make one jumper, and they are shorn once a year in May. 

Since alpacas lack horns, hooves, and upper teeth, nature has practically rendered them defenseless, making it impossible that they would survive in the wild. Fortunately, they can run at speeds of more than 30 mph and are swift and speedy. They also possess a powerful additional weapon: spit. These normally calm creatures may launch projectiles up to ten meters away when enraged.

But don’t be frightened. The Carpinelli herd, which now has 15 members, is usually pleased to greet and get carrots from visitors. However, it is best to avoid trying to pet these mop tops since, according to Jim, their temperament is “more like cats than dogs,” and although they are sociable and gentle, they may be a little shy. Alpacas need company and must grow up around other animals of the similar species.

Alpacas have a wide range of vocabulary that they use to communicate, including humming, grunting, and clucking at their young, or “crias” (their warning call might resemble an elephant trumpeting). The breed often reaches the age of 20. Oliver and Annabel Lee, the original crias, still exist in the current herd.

It is always entertaining to meet these amazing animals and the farm shop stocked with sweaters, hand-knit scarves, cute fleece toys, felted soaps and various other items. 

Currently the visitors have no issues regarding the Alpaca farm; travellers loved their kind interaction with the amiable animals. Many tourists believe that it was a fun place for kids to visit but visitors of all ages also enjoy this attraction.
