About Us
We've been keeping alpacas since 2004 and we began with four castrated males ! We now have one of the larger herds in Scotland and the alpacas occupy most of our working time, one way or another. As well as looking after and breeding our alpacas and maintaining the farm and the land, we offer Alpaca Days Out and husbandry training courses.
Our priorities are to look after the alpacas to the highest standards and to ensure that they have everything they need at the right time to keep them healthy and happy. We breed our alpacas with the aim of maximising their quality and well-being, and the quality of their fibre.
We do most of the work involved ourselves and we both get stuck into most jobs. We have support when we need it for specific tasks. We try to place our own spending as locally as possible and support other local businesses. And we love that all our alpacas growing fleece for our yarns and our own-made alpaca products have been bred, born raised and live here with us in Scotland.
John Smith
John has a lifetime of farming experience and has always worked with livestock. He loves working with alpacas because they are a wee bit different, in a sensible way !
John is the person who does almost all of the grass and ground management, and it is through his efforts that we are often complimented on how tidy the farm is.
John has a talent for weaving and is enjoying being able to contribute to the whole production cycle !
Carole Christian
Carole comes from a science and IT working background. She loves the alpacas because they are all individuals and are so responsive to calm and respectful handling.
In between other things, Carole keeps herself busy with knitting hats, weaving scarves, and sewing cushions and bags.
Carole does most of the office stuff and tries to keep the paperwork up to date.
