Proud Members of
Spring Alpaca Shows!
It's hard to believe, but spring is just a few months away. Superstar's Commander Ferguson (top left) and Hobby Horse Peruvian Pied Piper (bottom left) will be making their debuts for our farm. You can find more information on both animals on the "Alpacas for Sale" and "Herdsires Available" pages on this website.
This spring, you can find us at the Minnesota Alpaca Extravaganza in Owatonna Minnesota on April 14 and 15. We're also proud to be back as platinum sponsors for the Great Midwest Alpaca Fest in Madison on April 28 & 29.
Look for our farm booth at either show. We'll have yarn, socks, soap and other Offbeat Acres products there, as well as our beautiful, quality alpacas!
We sent a whopping 1070 pound shipment to the Alpaca Fiber Co-op of North America! This is well over 800 pounds of fleece, and will make lots of lovely scarves, socks and other products. Thank you to everyone who contributed this year!

What is Offbeat Acres?
Offbeat Acres is a small fruit and fiber farm, located ten miles east of Madison, Wisconsin. We grow raspberries, peaches, apples, pumpkins and blackberries. We also raise alpacas and ducks, and have yarn, roving, socks, raw fiber and other alpaca products for sale. The land has been in our family since the 1890s. Visitors would always tell us we should do something with the place, but it took years of gardening, cooking, research, and a fifteen page business plan to make it a reality.
Buy local with Offbeat Acres! We are proud to feature an inventory that is almost exclusively grown on our farm or made in the USA. Alpaca is incredibly soft, warm and luxurious, and makes a perfect gift.
Offbeat Acres Farmer's Markets
We are officially on our spring "hiatus" from the farmer's markets. Hiatus is our world means show seaons, shearing, skirting, planting, weeding, and doing all of the other stuff that makes the farm run.
We'll be back at the Hilldale Market on Wednesdays & Saturdays, starting August 8, and will be back at the Northside market on Sundays, starting either August 5 or 12, depending on the fruit harvest. Both markets are in Madison. Stop by to get some raspberries, blackberries, peaches, duck eggs, pumpkins, lovely alpaca products and lots of other things!
