Raising alpacas - and creating fiber art - goes on despite COVID-19 challenges

BERLIN - Laura Busky loves alpacas - farming them, making fiber art out of their fleece, and operating a successful business at North Brook Farm, 96 South St.
She won’t let a pandemic stop her, even if she has to do some things differently, like her Holiday Shoppe.
In 1983, Busky’s husband Mike bought the turn-of-the-century farmhouse that was once home to a chicken farm with some horses. The couple met in the early 1990s, and married in 1994. Mike had always wanted to return the property to an operating farm and, as a lifelong knitter, Laura liked the idea of having fiber animals.
