We started with a passion for animals with thoughts of possibly raising some type for business when we happened across our first alpaca purchase. It was basically love at first hum. The thought of raising something that could increase in population in the US and produce a product, without harm to animal, was an added appeal. Thus the beginning of our God-given alpaca adventure that has truly evolved at a record pace. We made a move to Ventura County to join ventures on 25 acres so we could expand the herd in both suri and huacaya alpacas.

We are hopeful for an upward fleece market in the alpaca industry here in the United States. From what we have witnessed; the quality of alpacas, knowledge and passion of people are here and improving rapidly. Success for commercial processing will not only come from obtaining numbers, but also quality of stock/fleece characteristics. We hope by participating in shows, seminars, obtaining memberships & various networking along with EPD and herd evaluations to continue learning and make discerning breeding choices to help this luxurious fiber reach it's maximum potential. All the while we are finding joy in the journey. Some of that joy is derived from the breath of a newborn cria, while some joy comes from the people we meet and get to know along the way.

People in this industry have been working hard at keeping the vision and realizing a dream is more likely to succeed as a team effort in which building each other up will lead to the success of industry as a whole. We have been blessed with wonderful friends and mentors through the alpaca community and truly enjoy the events when we are able to come together. We now have some home-grown champions to offer for stud service. We recently received the Top Ten National High Point medium suri farm award from Alpaca Owners Association, Inc. We hope to encourage others and look forward to sharing in others happiness and success.

We welcome inquiries and look forward to meeting anyone interested in looking to build a herd or those wanting to work with their amazing fiber. Our Ranch is not open to the public but contact us about visiting if you are interested in talking alpaca. We encourage you to come use your senses of sight, touch and hearing. (Nothing like the peaceful hum of this wonderful creation) Aspire to be a full-time fiber farmer and see if they capture your heart like they have ours.
