So...people always ask us "why alpacas?" The truth is that we considered all kinds of livestock -- many with a much more obvious and conventional business operation and revenue stream. But -- we wanted MORE -- we wanted something we could interact with every day. We wanted something that would bring joy and passion.
In 2011, we started a journey of researching alpacas to see if a viable business plan could be made. We visited dozens of farms and found that lots of them were thriving. And we found alpaca people to be from all walks of life, and warm and welcoming. We fell in love with the alpacas, and the people with alpacas.
Whether you're looking for your starter herd or wanting to add to your existing herd, Mark and Brenda are committed to helping you choose alpacas to meet your goals and objectives -- be it for pet, fiber, or show -- and to support you in your own alpaca journey.

Farm Terms & Financing
Standard industry contracts are used. Breeding quality alpacas come with reproductive and live birth guarantees. You may take possession of your alpacas once the down payment is received and the “contract for purchase” signed by both parties. Transfer of ownership with ARI will not occur until full payment is received.
Financing is available with 25 - 33% down, with up to 24 monthly payments. Buyer must purchase full mortality insurance for alpaca and offspring, if any, naming Man in the Moon Farm LLC as beneficiary on balance due until paid in full. Breedings include 60 day agistment unless otherwise noted. Special pricing often available for multiple alpaca purchases or multiple breeding purchase. Transportation responsibility of buyer.
AUCTION & PACKAGED DEAL OFFERS: These are cash only unless different arrangements are made up front. No other discounts apply unless negotiated otherwise.
Home of GANYMEDE! 2017 AOA Natl Supreme Champion!
Check him out! Ganymede has produced multiple Judges Choice offspring, and even farms such as CCNF have recognized the value of his offspring, having purchased half interest in one of his male offspring for their esteemed breeding program.
Due to loss of on-the-farm help, and a fractured back, we need to reduce our herd size significantly. Please review the "For Sale" section and contact us for more information. We assure you of reasonable pricing.
