Saturday & Sunday
Nestled at the corner where Fauquier, Culpeper, and Rappahannock
counties meet, Freestate Llamas is home to 35 llamas and six goats.
The farm’s owner, Marian Bruffy, got into llamas on a whim many
years ago and discovered a passion for the livestock show ring. She
now serves on the Board of Directors for the Llama Association of
the Mid Atlantic States, has been the show superintendent for the
last five years for the Virginia State Fair Llama Show and will be
superintending the Eastern Regional Llama Show this fall in
Delaware. Ms. Bruffy has designed obstacle courses which are used
in llama show arenas all over the eastern seaboard.
Freestate
Llamas offers llamas and llama wool for sale.
Directions —From

onto Rt. 1070 (Freeman Drive). At the end of Freeman Drive, about
a mile, go right onto Waterloo Road and take an immediate left

Site Highlights: Watch llamas traverse an Alpaca and Llama
Show Association (ALSA) standard obstacle course to learn
more about the versatility and intelligence of these wonderful
beasts of burden. Peruse the lovely woven and knitted
items made from llama wool that are offered for sale, or
spend some time petting the goats. Take home some llama
manure for your fall plantings and you’ll be hooked that it’s
the finest fertilizer known to any gardener.
