Alpaca Farm

Flying Acres

Here's a little about us: Tom is a retired Air Force pilot who now flies commercially. Michelle is a retired nurse. After many years of military life and travel, this small home on 5 scenic acres felt like the perfect place to call home. We moved into our new life as small-scale farmers in January 2020. After an adventurous trip to Peru and a visit to an alpaca farm in Northern Idaho, we decided that alpacas would bring the balance of joy and purpose we were seeking outside our careers. We bought our first 3 alpacas in the summer of 2020 and have continued to grow our herd. We name alpacas born on our farm after aviation, since flying has given us this opportunity. We have enough chickens and ducks to keep us stocked with eggs, and our garden provides plenty of veggies. We are still learning a lot and enjoying the journey. Meet a few alpacas from our herd by clicking the “Meet the Alpacas” tab at the top of the home screen. Then click the picture of the alpaca you would like to learn more about.

We have thoroughly enjoyed sharing our farm with the community through small farm tours. However, we have decided to step back, as demand has grown beyond what we can accommodate given our other commitments. We hope to add a small farm stand with regular hours in the spring, offering fiber products exclusively from our farm. This will also allow for some interaction with the alpacas. If you follow us on social media (Facebook or Instagram), we will keep you updated. Thank you again for your interest in our farm.
