Welcome to Flying Acres Ranch
Our little farm is a new chapter to our personal adventure novel. Tom is a retired Air Force pilot who now flies commercially. Michelle is a retired pediatric oncology nurse. After many years of military life and travel, this small home on a scenic 5-acres was the perfect place to lay a foundation for our adult children to call home base (and hopefully grandchildren someday!). We moved into our new (to us) home in January 2020. The previous owner grew and harvested orchard grass hay, giving us an easy starting point. After visiting an alpaca farm in Northern Idaho, we decided alpaca would bring the balance of joy and purpose we sought outside of our careers. We bought our first three alpacas during the summer of 2020 and have continued to grow our herd. We have enough chickens to keep us stocked with eggs and love our little vegetable/ flower garden. We are still learning a lot but are enjoying the journey. Our small herd is precious to us. We strive to ensure they are well cared for. If you are interested in purchasing our alpaca, please know that we are here for mentorship and will work with you to ensure success in growing your herd. Our first priority is the health and husbandry of our herd. We do not believe in operating from a place of scarcity. There is plenty of fiber and joy to go around!
