Home grown alpacas - Handmade goods
Please browse our site and acquaint yourself with these delightful creatures who brought us to this fun-loving and full ranch. We run our ranch with the help of our only employees, our two guard dogs, Raela and Aurora; our two rescued mules, Miss Blossom and Mr. Rogers; and several barn cats. Our hands-on approach ensures the production of well-balanced, top quality, easy-to-handle alpacas with stunning fleece. Be sure to find us on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube!
Why go alpaca?
The alpaca wool is softer than a sheep’s wool because the alpacas fibers have an air pocket in them. The air pocket is what traps and contains heat.
Alpaca fiber is known to be luxurious as it is soft, durable, and makes for amazing winter-wear. The fibers are three times the insulating capacity of a sheep's wool, which allows for garments to be extremely light and warm.
The alpacas are usually shorn in the spring, which gives them the freedom to have their summer cut during the warmer months, from which the fibers can be cleaned, spun, dyed, woven, or felted.
