Kipling Pines Alpacas Farms Our farm history
In 1993, we found twelve acres of land and an old house that begged for some tender loving care, and we jumped in with both feet. Our son Scott had just married his sweetheart, Jennifer, and they helped remodel the house so they could live there until we were ready to move. Although a city girl from California, Jennifer soon grew to enjoy country living.

In 1999, Scott and Jennifer built a house "next door", and we began to plan for our move to the country. After some more major remodeling and selling our home in town, we moved to "the farm".

  • We started investigating alpacas in August 2003, and that was the beginning of a wild, exciting new adventure. There was so much to learn, but once again, we jumped in with both feet, and we have been so glad we did. Since then we have:
  • built fences and shelters
  • purchased quality breeding stock with great bloodlines and in a variety of colors
  • developed a health management program in conjunction with a veterinarian who specializes in camelids
  • joined national and state alpaca associations and attended shows and clinics to further our education and stay current on health and management issues and industry trends
  • maintained herd health records in a software program
  • developed a working relationship with other breeders and owners in several states

Now, here we are with a website which we hope you will enjoy and will visit often. Even better, contact us and come visit our farm. Play with our animals, ask questions, and learn the potential for whatever piece you decide you want of this exciting and fun lifestyle.

We love sharing our experiences and are dedicated to helping the new breeder or investigator to make wise choices as they decide just what they want to accomplish. We have been blessed to have had the generous help of other breeders and owners and want to continue to share the dream.
