Birth of the Mead King You might be wondering how this all got started. Well, as with most things, good friends and alcohol were involved! I took a mead brewing class from my friend Bo, back in 2009. He convinced me that I should buy some supplies to “practice with” (about $150 worth). By the time my first batch was complete, I was entranced with this magical elixir. You could say it was love at first sip!
Narrows Creek Garden is a 3rd generation family farm operated by Sandy and Melvin Smith.

Aronia berries, also known as a chokeberry, are used for juice, jelly, wine, and additions for both color and flavor to yogurt, sauces and an endless variety of other food products.

Plain Pastures is a family-owned farm established in 2017 by the Terry Wehler family. With their children Kelsey and Kolton's assistance, they actively raise llamas, alpacas, and grass-finished beef on 92 acres of rotationally grazed pastures. Terry grew up farming on this very same land.
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!
