Houchin Family Alpacas began with a dream to find some property and move to the country. In 2006, our children had visited an alpaca farm on a field trip. As we started looking for land in 2008, the kids said, “Dad, when we get our land we need to buy a couple of alpacas,” to which I replied, “What is an alpaca?” Thus, the journey began, consisting of a lot of research and several farm visits,
we then realized the financial benefits and rewarding lifestyle of owning alpacas. In August of 2008, we visited the same farm that the kids had been to in 2006. While we were there, the owners mentioned that they were planning to retire and sell their place the next year. This opened the door for a perfect fit. The home was in the area in which we had been looking for land, and the alpacas would be sold with the property. Although the original plan was to start slowly, we now own 13 alpacas on our 6 acres.

We offer quality retail alpaca products, including socks, teddy bears, and sweaters. We also have raw fleece for sale. Give us a call and let us know what you are looking for.
