 Are You...

...an animal lover?
Alpacas are for you! What’s not to love? One look into those huge, soulful, long-lashed dark eyes and you’re done. Run your cheek along that soft, shimmering fleece; bend down and pucker up for those special alpaca kisses. Gentle and regal, goofy and curious, these animals are wonderful with kids and adults. But the ultimate gotcha is the sound they make – they HUM! What’s not to love?

...seeking a calm, less stressful life?
Alpacas are de-stressors! Imagine sitting on your front porch watching your animals quietly grazing or joyfully pronking through the fields. Spend some time with alpacas; their quiet demeanors naturally absorb your stress. It’s a fact!

...a fiber artisan?
Do you like to weave, spin, knit, crochet, felt or all of the above? It’s much more rewarding to use fleece from your own animals to produce quality yarn and garments! Since alpacas come in 22 natural colors, there is no need to add dyes, though white and light fawn fleece continue to bring top prices because of the “dyability.” With no lanolin to wash out, alpaca can practically be spun right off the animal and is a true delight to work with.

...an investment seeker?
You literally are getting in on the bottom floor of an industry we believe will skyrocket in the next few years-the United States alpaca fiber industry. Even though alpacas have been in the country since 1984, we currently produce only about 3% of the world’s alpaca fiber, so there is lots of room for growth! Why is alpaca fiber such a big deal? Because it is an incredible treasure. It has no lanolin, unlike most other fleece, so it is naturally non-allergenic. Alpaca fleece is stronger and warmer than wool, yet breathes because of its fiber composition, making it almost lighter than air! Best of all, it’s as soft as cashmere. Put all these attributes together and it’s no wonder clothing designers the world over actively seek alpaca fiber sources for production of a variety of clothing products from men’s suits to ladies dresses. Start contributing to the national herd and watch your investment grow! Invest in the USA. . . Invest in Alpacas!
