We are located in south central Pennsylvania, about 15 miles west of Harrisburg, convenient to I-81, I-83, and the PA Turnpike. We are transplants to this area, settling here in search of a slower pace of life after retirement from the military. We had horses for many years. After our children grew up and left home, the horses lived out their retirement years here. When the last horse was gone, we were not ready to leave our country lifestyle. So we decided to fill our barn with alpacas.
Our Mission
Our goal is to breed a few quality animals each year -- alpacas that either new or existing breeders would be proud to add to their foundation herds. We have good solid stock with excellent conformation and fleece characteristics.
Our Vision
While criating alpacas that will go on to become excellent breeding stock, we recognize that their fiber is the future of this industry. We believe that all breeders must acknowledge the need to build on the foundation of the beginnings of the fiber industry toward the goal of making the fiber farm a viable part of the future for alpaca farmers.
Our Values
We strive to provide our animals with a secure environment, to minimize stress whenever possible and to handle them with sensitivity and with respect to their individual personalities. We believe, by following strict protocols for their herd health procedures, feeding, and daily routine, that we are providing a foundation for healthy, contented animals.
We further believe that when we create life, by breeding and bringing a new animal into this world, we owe it to that individual to give it the best possible existence that we are capable of providing.
