Alpaca Farming is: GREEN and....

  •    Easier on the environment - Less acreage is required to raise
             alpacas in relation to other grazing animals and overgrazing is reduced due to the actual               impact that alpacas make on the physical environment. Their "toes" do not cut into the                  earth as hooves do and when they graze they carefully trim the tops of the grasses and                 move on so as not to tear away the roots and soil.

  •    Sustainable - for those who take their Environmental
             Stewardship  seriously, alpacas are a natural choice.
              What does  Sustainable Farming mean?
               It means growing crops and or livestock in ways that meet three vital 
                      objectives :

                      *Economic profit
                      *Social benefits to the farm family and the community in which we live.
                      *Environmental conservation

              "Social sustainability results from making decisions with the farm family's and the                          larger community's quality of life as a value and a goal "        

  • Greener - "Whereas the alpaca, being an earth friendly species,
             allows farmers to maintain green space and keep the family
             farm in existence' ~ Governer John Lynch

  •    Compassionate - No animals are slaughtered to produce  fibers
             or end products.

  •    Healing - Preliminary data suggests that alpacas are extremely
        useful as therapy animals for children and adults alike.

  •    Educational - Parents who homeschool their children can
       impart crucial life skills while providing hands on vocational training.

  •    Fascinating - Alpacas are gentle, curious animals. Their
             friendly, yet  mysterious nature makes them a pleasure to work
             with.

  •    Profitable - The ways in which alpacas can yield a profitable
             lifestyle are as varied and fascinating as the creatures  them selves.                                             Whether you choose to breed them, board them, or
             become a member of a fiber co-op or a combination of all of
             these, alpacas can be a wonderful investment for a secure and
             profitable future.
