ARUNDEL — Before hitting the department stores in
search of cozy knits and snow gear, you might consider buying your
socks, hats and mittens from an alpaca farm in Arundel.
The
alpacas that live on the 10-acre property each have a name and their
own personalities and owner Pam Drew treats them like domesticated pets.
By day, Drew is the treasurer at Kennebunk
Savings Bank in Kennebunk, but in 2001, just one year after moving into
her home on Limerick Road, she became the happy "mom" to three alpacas.
"You
don't find that combination everywhere but it has worked for me," Drew
said of balancing her day job and farm obligations. "I grew up in
Arundel and I'm trying to make a Maine product."
