About
Binder's Apple & Berry Farm
Out in the country 5 miles east of Mexico sits a
unique business, an apple orchard and a berry farm that also produces garden
vegetables, fresh cut and dried flowers, honey, hand milled
soaps, homemade honey whole wheat breads, sugar-free jams, jellies, and
apple butter. We also carry approximately 30 health food products and sugar
free cookbooks.
In 1999, we added a large barn and purchased our
first alpacas. Today, we have a herd of more than 35 alpacas in a variety of
colors. We named this new business Mid-Missouri Alpacas.
Along with selling alpacas, we do breeding and
boarding. Our farm market shop also carries alpaca apparel, alpaca
knitting kits, hand woven and felted items, blankets, knitting yarns and beautiful alpaca teddy
bears made from tanned hides.
We also carry raw fiber for those who like
to spin their yarn from scratch. For those spinners who prefer to
use roving, we have that in stock as well.
In 2005 we took on the Majacraft Spinning Wheel dealership and carry one of the
finest spinning wheels available anywhere.
In the spring of 2007 we
added a large fiber room and a handicap bathroom to our produce building.
We now have a place to display raw fiber, yarns and all our finished alpaca
products as well as a work room for classes in spinning and weaving.
