Our Alpaca Journey
Though we've been alpaca owners for less than a year, our passion for these incredible animals began long ago. For several years, we traveled across the United States, visiting numerous alpaca farms to immerse ourselves in learning about their care and the essential infrastructure required to raise them.
It's been a true pleasure meeting so many wonderful alpaca owners along the way. We're incredibly grateful for the immense support and guidance we've received from this community, which has been invaluable on our journey. We eagerly anticipate many more years in the alpaca industry, continuing to learn and connect with even more members of this fantastic community.
