favourite things about owning a business... I love the flexibility. This suits me as a mum because I can reshuffle most things to fit around the needs of my children. I allow myself slower days and more crazy productive ones. My creativity and motivation can vary depending on what is happening in our lives, so I am able to use this to make the most of my time. I also need this flexibility to ensure we can effectively care for our llamas. It’s not uncommon to check the animals and find myself taking on further work with them as needed. Being able to include our girls is another big benefit. Teaching them how to process fibre and make paper is really fun for us all. There are opportunities for them to help me and as they get older, these will grow. Fox Hill Llamas is very much a family business. While I may be the creative and come up with the ideas and products, I couldn’t do any of it without my supportive team! The efforts we all put in to raising our llamas and caring for our property now has a visual outcome in the form of our products. This links us all together and is the combination of our hard work and love for our land and animals.
