After a long journey, we have reached our destination!

We have been involved in alpaca keeping since around 2011. We have repeatedly visited trade fairs, exhibitions, breeders and attended seminars and courses. However, we have always taken the "sensible" route and put the matter to one side. ... too little time, too big an investment, too ..., too ....

but we kept coming back to it and this secret love for these animals wouldn't let us go.
In 2017, a different kind of reason prevailed.

The love of family, life and alpacas prevailed! In search of deceleration, we have arrived here! We are delighted with our new animal addition!

Why alpacas?

Alpacas are relatively uncomplicated to keep. They are robust and adaptable, very clean animals and create communal defecation areas. They have incisors on the lower jaw and a chewing plate on the upper jaw, so an area grazed by alpacas looks like it has been mowed with a lawnmower. As calloused soles, they cause almost no trampling damage.

Alpacas radiate calmness, they don't like hectic and hustle and bustle. This forces you to be balanced and calm when dealing with them

Alpacas do not have to be killed to obtain a product. The "wool", technically known as fibre, is much finer than sheep's wool and has many more pleasant properties than just being warm.

All in all, an alpaca is a perfect companion. In the truest sense of the word, because alpacas are also ideal as trekking, hiking and therapy animals.
