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.
