Welcome to Silkie's Farm

Welcome to Silkie's Farm!! We are home to many animals including a small herd of sweet alpacas and llamas, chickens, ducks, bunnies and a tortoise named Squirt!

Alpacas are docile, curious animals that penetrate your heart the second you look into their huge black eyes. Besides that, they produce a valuable, warm, durable hypo-allergenic fleece every year.

These creatures intrigue breeders, artists, farmers and fiber lovers alike. They are lovable and as humans we can learn to work with them in a way that brings us closer to their shy nature . They are gentle on the land and fun to watch as they pronk on new spring grass every year.

In 2011 we dove into the alpaca culture, we met incredible people willing to share their experiences and before you know it, we were purchasing our first herd and mentoring new farms. Nowadays, in between our regular work and family commitments, we scoop poop, give shots, get anxious when babies are coming, care for pastures, attend agricultural seminars, eagerly anticipate shearing day, sort fleece and read up on all things alpaca. It is a lifestyle choice. I LOVE it!!

We are breeders first. Part of the business is selling some of our herd. We love our alpacas and carefully ensure that they are moving on to greener pastures. For our customers, it's great because we breed for top quality genetics. You can be sure you are getting an animal that has been well cared for. We intentionally choose award winning herd sires to breed with our top quality dams. We also respect the current market and do not breed any females just to breed. It's a balance and we intend to keep our farm in check.

We offer breeding services to other local farms, a retail store, alpaca yoga, fiber classes, tours, special events and more.

Farm Terms & Financing

Alpacas thrive when they are in a herd. Purchasing a herd - even a small one - can be expensive. And let's face it, we don't NEED alpacas, we WANT them. Still, they are a great investment and can be a very rewarding business if you play it smart. We like to work with small farms because we are one. We know what it's like to write big checks to get your farm set up and then on top of that, to bring the animals home. If you are interested in any of our alpacas, we are happy to work with you.
