It Was Love at First Sight
Our journey into alpaca farming began quite unexpectedly. During my husband Rick's search for a good old tractor, he found one for sale at a farm that just happened to be an alpaca farm. He said, "You must see these animals - come with me to pick up the tractor." As we drove down the driveway, we were immediately greeted by dozens of curious eyes. In that moment, we fell in love.
We had always loved animals and felt drawn to raising livestock that could provide a sustainable product. After visiting more than a dozen alpaca farms and learning from exceptional mentors at Promised Land Alpacas in Chardon, Ohio, we knew this was our calling. We sold our horses, prepared our 36-acre property with secure fencing, and in October 2001, welcomed our first six alpacas.
From the beginning, we focused on quality over quantity - selecting alpacas with full Peruvian bloodlines, strong conformation, and beautiful colors, with a special appreciation for the elegance of the greys. We were honored to introduce the very first alpacas to the Shelby County Fair, and we regularly visit schools, libraries, and nursing homes to share these gentle animals with our community.
