Why Alpacas? ......

Our Journey......meet the Willis's

  We are a homeschool family of five, that operate a small farm, located on the east coast of North Carolina. Our dream began in early 2005 when we made the decision to move back home to the farm where Phillip grew up. We wanted a more simplistic alternative lifestyle for our family.  It was important to Phillip and I, that our boys experience “nature” the way he did as a boy and also experience the benefits of raising livestock.  Being a former teacher, I immediately went researching for the "perfect livestock" that the boys and I could handle while Phillip was busy running his own land clearing business.  Yes, I saw the "I Love Alpacas" advertisement and was immediately hooked.  Other than being absolutely adorable looking, they presented wonderful tax benefits, an end product (Fleece) that is renewable, and my boys and I could  physically handle the care of the animals ourselves.  Our perfect livestock, two bred girls and a pet male,  arrived on our farm on Mother's Day 2006.  Today, our farm has grown to 19 huacaya alpacas and a Llama.....and still growing. 

   Alpacas are the perfect livestock in our opinion.  Not only do we enjoy the business benefits of owning and breeding our alpacas,  just having them in our lives have taught us to appreciate the calmness, compassion and contentment out of life.
