It's easy to fall in love with these exotic animals. We certainly did. At first we were attracted to their income potential and ease of care. We wanted to leave the city and start a hobby farm. The first criterion was we wouldn't raise any animals destined for the dinner table. We also wanted animals we would enjoy being around and caring for. Alpacas met all our criteria, but when we first went to see them in person, we were hooked. Looking over the fence at them was so captivating, we didn't want to leave. Just watching them graze and play was very calming. I know many breeders with full time jobs who head straight out to the pasture when they get home to unwind from their stressful day.

These animals will enrich your life while providing you with an additional income, what more could you ask for?

You'll often hear how much easier alpacas are to care for, relative to other livestock. While this is undoubtably true, it doesn't mean that raising alpacas is a venture you can just jump into blindly. There is a lot of information about alpacas available, and sifting through all of it can be overwhelming. We know because we spent the better part of two years researching alpacas before we made our initial investment.

In the various sections of this website, we will share with you what we have learned through: converstions with other breeders; reading books, magazine and internet articles; attending workshops and our own hands on trials and errors with our alpacas. We hope that exploring these pages is a fun and informative journey for you.
