Name: Lesley Finneran. Workplace: Bay Springs Alpaca Farm (and Splash). Age: Thirty-six. Hometown: New York City. How long have you worked there? I’ve been working on Sundays (my day off from my other job) since the spring of 2010. I work with another woman, Erin Peek. We handle regular barn chores, moving hay, feed and bedding. We give the animals preventative shots and vitamins, and trim their toenails. We also work on handling the animals, getting them halter-trained, loading and unloading the trailer and preparing for alpaca shows. Best thing about the job? Lots! It’s outside, I have excellent bosses, a fun coworker, great animals, warm socks and yarn. What do you recommend here? Come for a visit, learn about the animals, and shop at the farm store – it’s worth the trip. The farm is open for visitors Saturdays and Sundays; Erin and I are there Sunday mornings. What’s your OTHER dream job? I have two: stock contractor for the Professional Bull-Riders’ Association or having a Saxon Merino sheep farm. Favorite thing about Cape May? I really like the Whale’s Tale and Splash (which, coincidentally, is where I work full-time). Interview by Kate Chadwick
