Spirit Valley Alpacas was established in 2014. We bought five alpacas. This consisted of one male and 4 females! We had a lot to learn as we dove in headfirst! We found that contacting other farms and learning from others is ideal! We found that this community of alpaca owners are very open to helping and bringing mentors!We moved back to our home state of Wisconsin in 2019 and are working to build the same here in the beautiful driftless area! The rolling hills and beautiful rock formations make for great agri-tourism! We look forward to meeting many people being able to share our love of alpacas with all!
