Meet the Llamas & Alpacas

Conswala is truly the heart and soul of Lucky Us Farm.  Our very first llama, she joined us in 2017 from Leisure Acres Farm in western PA and quicly became the face of the farm.  Gentle and kind, and endlessly patient, she has been the perfect ambassador, visiting schools, businesses, senior living communities, and countless special events.

​

Conswala is also our most photographed animal - and a seasoned professional model who knows exactly how to work the camera.  Give her a floral headband and she absolutely rocks it.  She was even a national finalist in the national Cadbury Bunny contest in 2019 and 2020, adding a little fame to an already very big personality.

​

Through the years, Conswala has greeted thousands of visitors, posed for more photos than we could ever count, and helped countless people fall in love with llamas. 

​

She was our first llama, and there will simply never be another Conswala.

Verana is big, confident, and a natural leader among the llamas.  She joined Lukcy Us Farm in 2017 from Leisure Acres Farm in western PA and, at an impressive 420 pounds, is our tallest llama.  Her size can make her look a littel intimidating, but don't let that fool you - Verana is truly a gentle giant.

​

As a young, first-time mom, Verana surpised us by giving birth to Rosalyn in the middle of the night - something llamas rarely do.  From the very beginning, she proved to be an attntive and protective mother with wonderful maternal instincts.  And with Rosalyn now expecting her first baby in April of 2027, Verana is looking foward to being a grandma!

​

Big in size, gentle at heart, and always keeping a watchful eye on her girl, Rosalyn.

Rosalynn - better known as "Rozzy" - was the second animal born right here at Lucky Us Farm, arriving just three weeks after Eleanor's complicated birth.  Thankfully, Rozzy's arrival was wonderfully uneventful, and her mama, Verana, took to motherhood like a pro.

​

Named after Rosalynn Carter, Rozzy is calm, quiet, and a definite Mama's girl.  Although she and Eleanor grew up together, Rozzy has always preferred the company of Verana.  Even today, the two are rarely far apart.

​

Now Rozzy is prparing for a new chapter of her own - she's expecting her first cria in April 2027!  We can't wait to see if this devoted mama's girl becomes just as devoted a mama herself.

Kiss holds a special place at Lucky Us Farm as our oldest animal - and the matriarch of one of our llama families.

​

She came to the farm in 2018 while pregnant with Eleanor.  When complications arose during delivery, Eleanor was born by emergency C-section right here on the farm.  It was one of our scarier farm mements, but thankfully, both mom and baby had a happy ending.

​

Years later, Eleanor had a daughter of her own, Mary, making Kiss a grandmother and giving us three generations of this special family her on the farm.

​

Now in her senior years, Kiss is our quiet, stoic old girl who has certainly earned the right to be left alone and to take life at her own pace.  

​

Three generations, one farm, and it all started with Kiss.​

Eleanor was the very first animal born at Lucky Us Farm - and from the beginning, she made quite an entrance.  A pregnancy complication resulted in an emergency C-section right her on the farm, earning her the title of our miracle cria.  She was named for Kris' mom, who was named after Eleanor Roosevelt, beginning our tradition of naming llamas and alpacas after Presidents and First Ladies. 

​

Today, Eleanor is large, in charge, and the undisputed head guard llama. She takes her responsibilities very seriously, and most visitors to the farm must first pass the famous "Eleanor Sniff Down."  It can be a little intimidating, but rest assured - she's simply doing her job.

​

Eleanor is also mom to Mary, and now that Mary is grown, she has taken another youngster under her wing.  She is currently mentoring her adopted daughter, Tilly, and teaching her the very important business of being a proper guard llama.

​

Protector, mama, mentor, and head of farm security - Eleanor runs a tight ship.

Named after First Lady Mary Lincoln, Mary was born right here on the farm to Eleanor, with Spring Kiss as her grandmother - creating 3 generations from this llama family living on the farm.

​

Mary has an adorable heart-shaped patch of dark fiber on her white front leg.  Kris loved it so much that she got a matching tattoo heart!

​

Mary's story took an unexpected turn when we discovered she was born with a rare chromosomal abnormality that caused her ovaries to produce testosterone. She traveled to Cornell University in NY for surgery, where the affected ovaries were successfully removed. After spending several months away from home for her medical care, Mary returned to the farm healthy, happy, and with a new friend - Maddox!

Jackie is a beautiful silver llama named after First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.  She joined Lucky Us Farm when she was just a year old, purchased from Leisure Acres Farm in western PA.  She and Eleanor share the same dad, making them half-sisters.

​

Jackie is shy and a little aloof, preferring to watch the action from a comfortable distance rather than be the center of attention.  She enjoys long walks around the farm property on halter, just don't expect her to mingle with the crowd afterward.

​

We also had hopes that Jackie might become a mama.  She was sent to two different farms on two separate occasions to be bred, but Jackie apparently had other plans.  Her answer was a very firm "Nope.".  So we finally got the message:  motherhood is simply not on Jackie's agenda.

​

Independent, beautiful, and very clear about her boudnaries - Jackie knows exactly what she wants (and doesn't want).

Maddox is a handsome gelded male llama who joined Lucky Us Farm in March 2026 from Summer Hill Farm in New York.

​

But Maddox didn't come to us as a stranger.  He had spent several months in NY with Mary while she was there for medical care.  The two became stall-mates and frineds, and when it was time for Mary to return home, we decided her new friend should come along too.

​

Maddox is a gentle, shy soul who is still learning that both his new herd and his humans can be trusted.  Kris takes him on regular walks around - and sometimes off - the farm to help buiild his confidence and introcude him to new experiences.  He's getting a little braver every day, and we're so happy Mary's friend is now part of our family!

Tilly is the newest - and quite possibly the fluffiest - member of our llama family.  She joined Lucky Us Farm from Summer Hill Farm in NY and shares the same handsome dad as Maddox, making them half-siblings.  With her fluffy face, fuzzy ears, and sweet personality, she is nearly impossible to resist.

​

From the moment Tilly arrived, Eleanor took her under her wing.  Now Tilly closely follows her adopted mama around the farm, learning the ropes from our head guard llama herself.

​

Tilly has also discovered she has a talent for weddings,  She has already escorted a bride down the aisle and proved to be calm, gentle and completly unfazed by the attention.

​

We have a feeling this fluffy little girl is going to grown into one very special llama.​​​

​

Syd came to Lucky Us Farm in August 2025 as part of the same rescue that brought us LuLu, Bobbi Jo, and seven other llamas (that were rehomed) from a farm near State College, PA.  We know very little about her life before she came to us - not even her age - but we've certainly gotten to know her personality!

​

There is somehting wonderfully quirky and endearing about Syd.  She has a habit of strolling around with her chin held high, then walking right up to you, standing very close, and staring deeply into your eyes.  Or is it into your pockets?  She sure loves when you bring her apples and carrots!  Either way, she always looks like she has a good joke to tell.

​

Syd is curious, comical, completely herself, and one of those llamas who simply makes you smile.

Lulu came to Lucky Us Farm in August 2025 as part of a rescue of ten llamas from a farm near State College, PA, coordinated with Southeast Llama Rescue (SELR).

​

Before her rescue, LuLu had experienced very little human handling.  She had never been sheared or even haltered, so we weren't sure how she would adjust to her completely new life.

​

It didn't take long for her sweet, gentle personality to shine through.  LuLu has learned that people bring good things - especially carrots and apples!  She is kind, appreciative, and seems genuinely content in her new home.

​

After so many years without much human care, LuLu is finally getting all the love and attention she deserves.  We're so glad she's ours.

Gloria came to Lucky Us Farm around 2020 with her lifelong sidekick, Honey.  The two were rescued from a farm in MD when their owner was no longer able to care for them, and we were thrilled to welcome our very first Suri alpacas to the herd.

​

Unlike our fluffy Huacaya alpacas, Suris have long, silky fiber that hangs in locks.  Beautiful? Absolutely.  Warm?  Not particularly.  Gloria and Honey appreciate the warm jackets they wear in the winter to help keep them cozy.  Fashion and function.

​

Gloria was formally adopted by our farm friends, Irene and Marion, who love to visit her and spoil her rotten.  Sometimes even her owners have a hard time telling them apart. One clue is their signature haircuts.  Gloria prefers a mullet and Honey prefers a mohawk. 

​

Gloria generally prefers to admire her humans from a respectful distance.  But every once in a while, especially when she hears live music, she wakes up and chooses love - and on those days, you'd better get a snuggle when you can. 

Honey arrived at Lucky Us Farm around 2020 alongside her best friend, Gloria, after the pair were rescued from a MD farm whose owner could no longer care for them.  We had never had Suri alpacas before, so bringing these two beautiful ladies home was especially exciting.

​

Honey was formally adopted by a wonderful farm family, The Tawny's, who give her lots of love and special attention when they visit.  

​

Honey can be distinguished from Gloria by her bowl-cut and mohawk, which gives her just the right amount of punk-rock attitude. Add her winter jacket and she may very well be the most fashion-forward alpaca on the farm.

​

Honey and Gloria are practically inseperable.  If you spot Honey in the pasture, you usually don't have to look very far to find Gloria.  Like Gloria, Honey generally keeps humans at a polite distance.  But every now and then, Honey chooses love and decides we're worthy of her attention.  We don't question it.  We just enjoy it while it lasts.

Cali is one of the original Lucky Us Farm girls! Purchased from a farm in Spring Grove in 2017 alongside Olivia and Lucia, these three ladies were our very first alpacas.

​

But Cali's story has an interesting twist! She was actually born on this very farm in 2006, long before we owned it. After being sold to another farm, she eventually found her way back home.

Cali is also mom to Betty!

She's a bit of a social butterfly one day and a wallflower the next. You might find her front and center soaking up attention or quietly grazing in the background. With her beautiful face and fluffy topknot, Cali is a natural in front of the camera and frequently makes appearances in our farm photo shoots!

Sweet Betty holds a special place in our hearts as the very first alpaca born at Lucky Us Farm! The daughter of Calisay, she was named after former First Lady Betty Ford.

​

Betty is a gentle soul and a bit of a social butterfly. She enjoys visiting with guests and has a rather peculiar fascination with shoes. Watch your toes! Betty has been known to sneak in a little nibble on visitors' footwear. We're still not sure what makes shoes so irresistible!

​

Although Betty ranks pretty low in the herd's pecking order, she takes it all in stride. She's not one to challenge the bossier personalities and often finds herself on the receiving end of their antics.

​

With her sweet disposition, curious nature, and adorable face, Betty is proof that you don't have to be at the top of the herd to be a farm favorite.

Olivia is one of our original Lucky Us Farm girls! Purchased from a farm in Spring Grove in 2017 alongside Cali and Lucia, these three ladies were our very first alpacas.

​

Sweet, calm, and affectionate, Olivia always looks like she's daydreaming about green clovers and rainbows. We're convinced she knows about a secret patch of "happy crop" hidden somewhere in the pasture!

​

Her gentle nature makes her a wonderful farm ambassador. Olivia frequently travels to senior centers and churches, bringing smiles and a little alpaca cheer wherever she goes. She's also the proud mama of Teddy and Grover.

​

And when she's not spreading joy on the road, Olivia enjoys her time in the spotlight. She's become the star of our recent photo shoots, proving that this sweet girl knows how to work the camera!

Named after President Theodore Roosevelt, Teddy is the son of Olivia and big brother to Grover. The two look so much alike they could practically be twins, but Teddy has a few distinguishing features — including white spots on his neck and leg, and a fabulous mop of fiber that often hides his eyes!

​

Teddy has incredibly soft, dense fiber that is a favorite for weaving. He's also cute as a button, enjoys going for walks, and has a personality that's MUCH bigger than his fluffy little body.

​

But don't let that adorable face fool you. Teddy is the only animal on the farm known to spit completely unprovoked! One minute he's sweetly seeking attention, and the next he's reminding you who's boss. Fortunately, he usually gives a warning: his nose goes up in the air, often accompanied by a rather impressive dinosaur-like sound. Consider that your cue to give him some space!

​

Despite his questionable manners, Teddy is somehow a fan favorite. Apparently, a little attitude only adds to his charm.

​

How to tell Teddy and Grover apart? Easy! If you can't see his eyes, it's probably Teddy. If he's spitting at you, it's DEFINITELY Teddy!

Meet Grover, the sweet, mild-mannered brother of our resident troublemaker, Teddy! Named after President Grover Cleveland, Grover is the son of Olivia and Teddy's full brother. The two look so much alike that guests often do a double take!

Luckily, there are a few ways to tell them apart. Grover has an adorable little white spot just below his left ear, and unlike his shaggy brother, you can actually see his eyes! Of course, the easiest way to tell them apart is that Grover is usually on his best behavior, while Teddy...well, that's another story.

With his beautifully curly fleece and gentle personality, Grover is quickly becoming one of our rising stars. He's beginning his modeling career in farm photo shoots and has already taken his charm on the road, visiting senior centers and churches to spread a little alpaca happiness.

Sweet, handsome, and happy to let his brother handle the drama, Grover is proof that good looks and good manners really can go together!

Rum Chata, affectionately known as “Rummy,” joined Lucky Us Farm in 2020 after being purchased from a farm in Western Pennsylvania. She settled right into the herd and quickly made herself at home.

​

Rummy's beautiful coloring is known as Bay Black, although she has a little secret: a tiny white spot at the top of her tail! She's also the proud mama of two cria, Louisa and Quincy. Despite having the same mother and father, these two couldn't look more different. One is black and the other is white! Alpaca genetics certainly know how to keep things interesting.

​

But Rummy's most entertaining claim to fame? She apparently thinks she's a stud!

Rummy has a habit of mounting her fellow alpacas, with poor Betty being her favorite target. And she doesn't just go through the motions. She climbs aboard, settles in, and even provides the full breeding soundtrack with some impressive orgling! She can get a little carried away, occasionally adding some neck and ear nibbling to the performance. Whether it's hormones, social behavior, or Rummy simply being Rummy, she certainly keeps life in the pasture interesting!

Louisa is the daughter to Rum Chata and the sister to Quincy.  She was named after First Lady Louisa Adams.  Louisa has some of the softest fiber of the herd so be sure to feel her softness if you get a chance!  She's also the most adventurous eater of the herd and loves to munch on snacks of apples and carrots!  Her nose is always scuffed and I can't figure out what she is rubbing it on.  If you can solve the mystery, please let me know!

Quincy just might have the most recognizable face on the entire farm! Named after President John Quincy Adams, he's the son of Rum Chata and little brother to Louisa. Born a bit earlier than expected, Quincy surprised us from day one with his unusual coloring and striking facial markings.

​

But his real claim to fame? Quincy has the softest fiber on the entire farm! And considering how much fluff we have around here, that's quite an accomplishment.

​

Quincy is a shy fellow who prefers to admire visitors from a comfortable distance. He's not one to seek out attention or affection, but if you're ever lucky enough to get close enough to feel his fleece, you're in for a treat. It's unbelievably soft!

​

Quincy may not be our most outgoing alpaca, but with that unforgettable face and luxurious fleece, he certainly doesn't need to be!

Maple joined Lucky Us Farm in February 2025 as part of a rescue involving ten alpacas desperately in need of new homes. Working with Southeast Llama Rescue, we helped find loving homes for eight of them and couldn't resist adopting two ourselves. Maple won us over with her beautiful coloring, sweet smile, and gentle expression.

​

Maple is a Suri alpaca, known for her long, silky fiber that hangs in beautiful locks rather than the fluffy fleece typically associated with alpacas.

But Maple had a surprise in store for us! Shortly after her arrival, we discovered she was pregnant from her time at her previous farm. In 2025, she became a first-time mother to our adorable Lady Bird!

​

From rescued alpaca to proud mama, Maple's story is one of second chances, new beginnings, and a little unexpected farm magic.

Meet Lady Bird, the youngest alpaca on the farm and quite possibly our biggest little troublemaker! Born to Maple, one of our rescued alpacas and a first-time mom, Lady Bird has been stealing hearts and causing mischief since the day she arrived.

​

A total tomboy with a BIG personality, Lady Bird is the quintessential annoying little sister. She loves roughhousing with her buddies Grover and Quincy, pestering the older alpacas, and generally inserting herself into everyone else's business. Even the llamas aren't safe from her curiosity! She's forever sniffing them, invading their personal space, and getting a little too close for comfort. They frequently have to remind her who's boss. Does she learn her lesson? Absolutely not.

​

And then there are the zoomies! One minute Lady Bird is peacefully grazing, and the next she's turned on the jets, sprinting across the pasture at full speed, leaping and pronking through the air for absolutely no apparent reason. Watching her is pure entertainment!

Lady Bird is also our resident nibbler. Clothes, shoelaces, shoes, and even fingers are all fair game for a curious little taste. She's not trying to be naughty; she's just exploring her world one nibble at a time.

​

A note for visitors: Lady Bird is playful, quick, and unpredictable. She may suddenly dart, jump, or nibble, so please use extra caution around young children and keep little fingers away from her mouth.

​

With her boundless energy, fearless curiosity, and hilarious antics, Lady Bird has quickly become a fan favorite. She's living proof that the smallest members of the herd can have the biggest personalities!

Sprinkle Pie came to Lucky Us Farm in February 2025 as part of a rescue involving 10 alpacas desperately needing new homes. Working with Southeast Llama Rescue (SELR), we successfully rehomed eight and welcomed two into our own herd.

​

Sprinkle Pie arrived with a little surpirse - she was expecting!  She gave birth to a handsome baby boy named Dwight and proved to be a wonderful, attentive mother.  At 8 months old, Dwight moved to an all-boys farm, and Sprinkle Pie has adjusted remarkably well to life without her son.

​

These days, Sprinkle Pie has her priorities straight.  Food. Food. And more food.  She's always first in line at dinner time and firmly believes there's no such thing as a full stomach.

​

While she doesn't have a particular bestie, she's perfectly content hanging out with the herd and doing her own thing.

​

And that adorable name?  Slrinkle Pie was named by a young girl whose grandmother generously donated to the rescue organization.  A sweet name for a sweet girl with a bottomless appetitie!

Lucia was one of our original Lucky Us Farm girls, purchased from a farm in Spring Grove in 2017 alongside Cali and Olivia. And quite possibly, she was the sweetest alpaca to ever walk this earth.

​

Lucia didn't just tolerate affection—she sought it out! She would happily snuggle up beside you, sometimes falling fast asleep while being loved on. She could sit so perfectly still that visitors often mistook her for a statue! With her beautiful face and gentle personality, she was our official greeter and the star of countless farm photo shoots.

​

Sadly, Lucia developed early-onset arthritis in her hips. We explored numerous treatments, worked closely with our veterinarian, and even took her to a large animal hospital in hopes of keeping her comfortable. Despite our best efforts, her condition progressed, and in early 2026, when she could no longer stand, we made the heartbreaking decision to let her go peacefully.

​

Some animals leave hoofprints on your farm. Lucia left them on our hearts.

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever one of our original three.

Bobbi Jo came to Lucky Us Farm in August 2025 with LuLu, Syd, and seven other llamas after their owner passed away and they could no longer be cared for.  Her exact age was unknown, but we believed her to be middle-aged.

​

Sadly, Jobbi Jo's years of inadequate nutrition before her rescue had taken a toll on her health.  In spite of veterinary care and proper nutrition for several months, she passed away unexpectedly on a beautiful spring day in May 2026.

​

We wish we could have given Bobbi Jo many more years here, but w're grateful that her final months were filled with good food, gentle care, sunshine, and the companionship of her herd. 

​

She is deeply missed - especially by her best friends, LuLu and Syd.
