Our Mission is to provide a family friendly atmosphere where people of all
ages and nationality can experience a unique farm visit and better understand these amazing Alpacas! Learn how we got started in this article published in the San Francisco East Bay magazine 110: Growing a Way of Life
We believe alpacas are a great way to help teach children kindness and gentleness towards animals. Alpacas are gentle, easy on the land, very clean, and intelligent. We have found that interacting with animals like Alpacas helps to teach both children and adults to focus outwardly on other living creatures and demonstrates a kind way to treat the earth.
