Welcome to Independence Farm!

After raising beef cows for most of our married life, we decided to work with a more gentle, intelligent animal: the alpaca. Our first alpacas were delivered on Good Friday 2007 and we have been enjoying them ever since. It is a thrill to see the birth of new crias and watch them struggle to get up on those wobbly baby legs. Then within an hour or two they are racing around the field. In the evening, we are tickled to watch the cria frolicking through the fields. Raising alpacas is a calm, peaceful type of farming. Our farm is named Independence Farm because our first cria was born on the 4th of July.

Our main breeding decision is to breed for animals who retain their quality fleece for many years. We aim for uniform, fine, dense, shiny, and crimpy fleece. Exceptional body conformation and pleasant dispositions add icing to the cake.
