Our
foundation herd out for a bit of mid-winter sunshineWe have a wonderfully diverse group of alpaca at our farm. The foundation
herd are all full Peruvian that come from quality stock. We have a fiber herd
that is more diverse but still has excellent fiber; which is used to make many wonderful
products.
Alpaca are of the camelid family and are native to the mountainous regions of South America. They are the oldest domesticated animals in the Americas where they have been raised and bred for their fiber. The finest quality alpaca fiber has been found in ancient grave sites; even finer than we have today. This loss in quality is because the Spanish that invaded South America didn't recognize the quality and benefits alpaca provide. They saw the alpaca as a threat to the sheep and decimated the herd.
As of this time there have been no alpaca sales.
