I was having lunch with a client, Sister Judith from Dominican Sisters in Great Bend, KS and she was telling me about the farm they have 13 miles west of town. Can you imagine my delight when she said there were 15 alpacas on the farm and several of the sisters who live there spin.
So, we drove out there and she introduced us to Sister Mary Ellen who took us on the tour of
Heartland Farms. What an awesome place with alpacas, fruit trees, gardens and Sister Mary Ellen even has a studio where she provides therapeutic massage.
I came away with a skein of handspun, homemade soap and a longing to come back and spend more time with these wonderful women.
