Proprietor Barry Finer introduces NCPR's Sarah Harris to two of the ladies.<\/p><\/div>\n

Earlier this fall, Sarah Harris and I stopped by Gore Mountain Farm outside North Creek. I’d been meaning to visit Barry Finer and Virginia French’s operation for years. Now I understand why I held back–alpacas are wonderful creatures. I fell in love. Now, how am I going to add alpacas to the sheep and turkey and laying hens already roaming our little farm?<\/p>\n
