This Sunday the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market welcomes back favorite market guests, the sweet Alpacas from Heart of Dreams. Pam Wilmot and her best beasties will be at the market with a fine selection of naturally made yarn from the recently shorn alpacas. Pam will demonstrate the spinning of the fur into yarn, and will also have some beautiful and unique shawls made from their fur.

Heart of Dreams Alpacas is a small, family owned farm located in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. It sits on five acres of rolling pastures, which are home to a growing herd of alpacas and many other animals.

Pam’s visits to the market with her alpacas have become a tradition and are one of the great, family-friendly highlights of the market season. So stop by, feed a carrot or two to the alpacas, and learn more about these wonderful farm animals while enjoying a day at the market.

Other market highlights this week will include fresh, organic asparagus and spring onions from Alvarez Organics, spring Rhubarb from Bautista Farm, and fresh cheese from Samish Bay, plus a new arrival on the vendor front, Cha New Life Farm.

The LFP Farmers Market is presented by Third Place Commons and runs every Sunday from 10am to 3pm at Lake Forest Park Town Center at the intersection of Bothell Way and Ballinger Way.
