start our farm.

Over the next few months we started putting up fencing, building our barn and shelters. Most importantly,
acquiring our herd from the finest bloodlines that we could find.  Our females and herdsires are represented by
Peruvian Macusani, Acero Marka, Snowmass Peruvian Avalanche, Peruvian Drambuie, Peruvian Hemingway,
Pewter Jr., and CPeruvian Jaxon.   We chose to specialize in animals that were true black, silver grey, and rose
grey because they are less common and produce beautiful natural colored fleece.

We have been blessed with healthy, strong crias since we started.  We have had the opportunity to be present at
their births.  

We now have a nice, comfortable barn for the females and their crias and a shelter for the gelding and
herdsires.  We are currently expanding our fenced-in pastures and are building more shelters and barns.  We
recently purchased two prospective herdsires and a young junior herdsire.  

Our plans in the upcoming months are to start our breeding program in the fall of this year, and begin selling our
beautiful crias.  We will also be set up to start agisting others’ alpacas.  We will treat your animals with the same
care and attention that we give our own.  

We have learned alot about the alpacas, the industry, and ourselves.  We are enjoying the journey.  Our alpaca
business is a family business, with everyone having chores relating to our animals and farm.  We are constantly
striving to improve each generation through quality breeding.  We are a small farm with 10 acres, but we are big
on quality, integrity and service.

We look forward to hearing your “alpaca story” when you visit our farm and see our beautiful gray and black
huacaya alpacas.   You may also see us at upcoming shows this year.
Mark & I  started our alpaca journey in September 2002.  I
saw an article in the local newspaper describing an alpaca
event that highlighted several area farms.  We were looking
for a family outing, so we went to the local farm, talked to
several alpaca owners, and got brochures.  I was hooked
right then and there.

Mark & I talked about starting our own farm off and on for the
next year.  Finally, we decided to look into it more seriously.  
I did intensive research on the Internet to glean any
information that was there relating to alpacas. We contacted
and visited several farms close-by.  In October 2003, we
were invited to a farm tour in the Richmond area.  Mark & I
spent a crisp autumn day visiting three established and
friendly alpaca farms.  We were now excited and ready to
