TX-Ture Farm is a family owned farm in Aubrey that has alpacas, lavender, honeybees, and Christmas trees. September 25 was National Alpaca Farm Day, so TX-Ture hosted an open house which made it the perfect reason to head north with my friend Jennifer for a fun day at the farm.
The first thing we did was felt some soap. The farm makes soap, but we got to add alpaca fleece to it. You pick your colors and use warm water to lather up the soap to adhere the fleece. The fleece is incredibly soft, like cashmere. It's a soothing activity and you can't really get it wrong. The end product is a bar of soap encased in alpaca fleece so you have a built in loofah.
I was so excited to do yoga with the alpacas, even though I haven't done yoga since before the pandemic. But what a fun experience to do yoga outside on a beautiful day with these sweet, gentle creatures walking around you. When we finished, everyone got a pouch of food and that was super fun to feed them.
TX-Ture has picnic benches, so be sure to take a lunch when you visit. After our charcuterie board & a lovely bottle of wine, we walked around the rest of the grounds to check out the lavender, the honey bees (from a distance of course), and the young Christmas trees. We wrapped up our day with a swing through their store where you can get all sorts of fantastic farm-made products. I may or may not have gotten a couple of Christmas gifts.
A super fun day! Be sure to check out TX-Ture's Facebook page for future events. I don't know that it is always open to visitors, but they do have events out there so you can experience the many things they have, not just the alpacas.
