Karmawara is a small farm set on 45 hectares located approximately 15 km west of the town of Lawrence in the Clarence Valley Shire in the Northern Rivers area of NSW. We have a variety of activities happening on the farm but mainly focus on our growing alpaca stud, our garlic and herbs. Our small herd of Huacaya Alpaca originate from good solid genetic stock and our goal is to continue to produce robust, fine fleeced animals with good sized frame. At this stage we produce animals to fit the growing demand for new breeding stock—and as this is predominantly a fleece industry, the aim is to develop a line of alpacas producing a thick, crimpy low micron fleece. However there is also a developing niche market for alpaca meat and hide products so producing larger framed animals will go towards development of this area too. We also produce several varieties of garlic. As our region is consistently subtropical, we mainly grow varieties that suit our climate—such as Glen Large and the giant Russian variety however we have had good success with some colder climate Purple Stripe, California Late and Italian White. Produce will be sold as seed and some at the markets and local produce shops. We are also trialling strawberries, chillies and a variety of fresh herbs. |

Sept 2011 Garlic Update. This year’s garlic patch is coming along nicely with some excellent rain during the later parts of the month. The early varieties should be ready to harvest around November. Our Glen Large is bulbing nicely—a bit earlier than expected—but you cant hold back nature ! We will be replanting a large portion of this years harvest so stock for sale will be limited. *Sorry .. We have none left for sale this year.* |

Nov 2011 Update * New Season Giant Russian Garlic is currently being harvested and cured.
