Excellent Alpaca Experience
Our family had always been fascinated by alpacas, but it wasn't until 2001 that we decided to bring six of them to our farm. We fell even more in love with these gentle, unique creatures. Not only are they the perfect farm animal, but alpacas also have the warmest, softest, most durable fiber known to man. Wanting to share this incredible fiber with others, The Crystal Lake Alpaca Boutique was officially established on the Nelson Family Farm in the Spring of 2012. The boutique lies within a refurbished barn, and features Northern Michigan rustic appeal using wood harvested from our property. Today, we have expanded the boutique to a second building on the farm and grown our herd to more than 50 alpacas. The boutique carries a variety of alpaca products including hats, mittens, scarves, neck warmers, the famous alpaca socks, sweaters, stuffed animals and much more! Closed holidays and Sundays.

One of the Highlights of our Trip to Frankfort, Michigan
Our six year old granddaughter couldn't get enough of these adorable and soft alpacas. She loved feeding and petting them, and they loved getting all the attention. She spent a few hours there, and there was a big checkers board on the picnic table, so she had fun playing checkers with Opa while the alpacas watched her. Across the driveway is a Maternity Alpaca Section where you can view the babies and their mamas. So much to see in the gift shop, but most of the items are extremely expensive. We did find a cute white alpaca in the shop that wasn't made out of actual alpaca fur, so it was much more reasonable and she was thrilled with it. The cost to get in is minimal and a little container of food was only fifty cents, so she was able to feed them to her hearts content.

Great experience!
What a fantastic experience! First off, we got there early during the week and it was so quiet there you could hear the leaves fall! This was good as they had a quiet sign by the barn as they had a lot of newborns in their nursery. SO cute! We did the petting and feeding experience and got really up close with the Alpacas and we had their undivided attention. The other animals nearby all came out of the barn when they heard us approach which was super cool. We got a few items at the gift shops and all in all had a lovely time. I would recommend going there and I will definitely go back when I am in the area again!
