Summer Brook Valley Farm Alpacas (Closed)
Alpaca? But I Hardly Know Ya Summer Brook Valley Farm Alpacas November 26, 2011 This page is... crazy. Summer Brook closed in 2015 for one, and it goes way too deep into alpaca-dom for some reason.

Rare Gator Sighting Al E. Gator, Glastonbury April 1, 2012 I can confirm this still exists in 2021.
