The Llama Crew

Lily, Java, Summer Wind, Beata, Alexa
There’s a whole lotta llamas at the farm!

Green Chimneys has been a long-time home to llamas Lily and Java, who arrived in 2006 as trained therapy animals. Llamas are environmentally sensitive, intelligent creatures that get along well with children and are noted for being well-socialized, extremely curious and highly approachable, making the pair excellent “facilitators” for the therapeutic programs at Green Chimneys.

In the fall of 2011, Lily and Java were joined by a group of llamas, creating a complete community of camelids.
