Continued from Home Page ......... the kind of land necessary and what effect on the land each type of animal would have. We live in Central New York, so we also had to consider long hard winters as well. Temperament of animal was important to us also.

What we found in Alpacas was an animal with relative ease of care, especially compared to other types of livestock, little damage to land, the ability to stock more animals per acre than other livestock, and a gentle, intelligent animal whose native South American mountain home made them able to tolerate the snowy, cold winters here in New York.

The bonus was the fiber! As a lifelong crafter, the world of fiber and fiber-arts was                entrancing!! And so, Mike became "the genetics guy" and Kim became "the fiber lady",                               eventually expanding from just Alpaca fibers to wools and fibers of all varieties for
spinners, knitters, crocheters, and fiber artists of every kind.
We had found the perfect match for us!

Enjoy looking at our animals, and feel free to contact
