The fall brings along a change of seasons and with it, a flurry of business! We exhibited at 2011 Salmon Days and introduced masses of people to our alpacas! The event draws over 150,000 people and we set up alpaca pens and alpaca products for retail purchase! We sold out almost the first day and were very excited at the interest that the alpacas brought!
We are also gearing up for a new show in Redmond, Oregon and wrapping up the breeding season with The Reverend Mr. Black and Gold Standard! read more...

For those who wish to learn more about alpacas, we are hosting a seminar - Alpacas 101 - on October 15th, 20 read more...

It was a busy day here on the farm, and knowing that the August heat would reach near 90 degrees - I decided to get up early and bake a dessert for our BBQ lunch with Alan & Michael, owners of Squire Creek Alpaca Ranch. The organic apple & raspberry cake turned out delicious! They were bringing Gold Standard back from their ranch after putting him to work up north. We have more work for him here so I'm sure he was happy to return to his pasture.
Jeff had been in Portland all weekend and was b read more...

Independence Day is a two-day national holiday held on 28th and 29th July each year in Peru. It celebrates José de San Martín's proclamation of Peru's independence from Spain on 28th July 1821.
We enjoyed meeting Miguel Angel Velásquez and his staff for a fun-filled event. Our alpacas were at the front entrance as guest arrived and had many photo opportunities for the g read more...
