Veterans Day is Wednesday, November 11. At our little alpaca farm in Douglasville, Georgia, it’s more than a date on the calendar.
How Buddy’s Came to Be
Rob spent 10 years in the U.S. Air Force and deployed for Desert Shield and Desert Storm, then went on to a career with the airlines. When the pandemic grounded that job in 2020, he finally chased a dream he’d had since he was a kid: a farm of his own. In 2021 he and Abbi brought home five alpaca boys and named the place Buddy’s, after Rob’s grandfather, a mechanic in the U.S. Army Air Service in 1918. Around here, every day is Veterans Day.
The herd has grown to seven boys since then: Buddy, Max, Neo, Kabong, Ninja, Just Bob and Little Mack. We think Rob’s grandfather Buddy would be proud of the crew that carries his name.
The Veteran-Owned Farm Tee
We made this one with Veterans Day in mind. Max sits on the left chest, and a large Veteran Owned badge runs across the back. There’s no slogan on the front. It’s a heavyweight, garment-dyed cotton tee in True Navy or Pepper, for $36.
Every tee is made to order, so it needs a little time to arrive. If you want it around Veterans Day, ordering soon gives you the best chance.
