 we began  in upstate NY with aspirations to have our family life enriched by farming, and a goal toward sustainable agriculture. We knew that the lifestyle we wanted to pursue would be full of sweat, dirt, and hard work; but it would also connect us with what is important—God, each other, and the land around us. After a great deal of research, education/training, and mentorship with another alpaca farm, we obtained our first 3 alpacas in early 2020. Mesmerized with the beauty of the Appalachian Mountains, we relocated to Oil Springs, KY in July of 2020. Since then, we’ve grown our herd to 12 with more to come!
