Our Mission Statement:
Russ and I very much value the idea of the small farm. It is a place where hard work and pulling together can bring about so many rewards.
Being that I so love all of the colors alpacas naturally come in, my goal has been to choose females with a history of producing cria that have quality fleece coupled with vibrant color.
I have so valued the consistent personal care I have received from people like Cathy Bagnell (Turnpike Ridge Camelids) and Barrie Lynn Wood (Benchmark Alpacas at the Tin Roof Ranch). I therefore wish to give that back to whomever I come into contact with by offering that same kind of help.
Farm Description:
Our farm began three years ago when we started with two female cria and a female llama. We had visited about ten farms over the course of a year, and done a lot of researching the industry coupled with a lot of prayer that this might be a way to help supplement our income. The tax benefits alone have been enough to convince us we made the right choice! When we found the animals we were looking for along with someone who was very knowledgeable and lived nearby, we decided to take the plunge.
Russ has done everything himself, having put up three small barns, clearing and planting 2 1/2 acres for pasture, fencing, and now constantly refining our alpaca project.
We now have eight males, eight females and one very sweet llama. Our foundation girls have been chosen based on the cria they have produced in the past........colorful and of ribbon-winning quality. We breed only to the best herdsires, bringing quality and varied lineages to the area. Those include Peruvian Jericho, Peruvian Bueno, CPeruvian Camilla, Peruvian Silverado, Shades of Grey, The Peruvian Tin Man, Peruvian Hemingway, El Nino, and Peruvian Caligula just to name a few!
Come and see for yourself what we consider to be a little bit of heaven in this life!
