Our story
Nestled in a wooded corner
overlooking a rambling creek, Turkey Creek Alpacas is centrally located in
upstate Indiana approximately 30 miles south of the Michigan border.
Our farm started in 2001 with
only a log home on 4 acres. Everything needed for raising alpacas was built
from the ground up - a barn, fencing, seeding pastures, the works! It was
quite an adventure.
Our alpaca "adventure"
started after seeing an ad on the Discovery channel which portrayed the
animals as gentle and easy to manage. We spent many hours researching the
alpaca business and visited several farms.
|
Raising the animals as a small business was
appealing to us because the end product from the animal, soft and luxurious
wool referred to as "fiber", is obtained
without harm. |
 |
| |
The appeal to raise "green" livestock with
the added bonus of a "green" end product was exactly what we were searching
for.
We view the alpaca business as a two-fold
opportunity - the first being the breeding and sales of animals - and the
second the start of a cottage business from the fiber.
Our vision is to breed
healthy animals with correct conformation - and most of all - breed for
quality fiber.
Our focus is to create an end
product that utilizes the unique qualities of the alpaca fiber.
Our choice to be a small farm
allows us the opportunity to give individual attention to our animals that
larger farms often cannot. With this approach, we can assure the best
attention, nutritionally and health-wise for each animal.
Why buy from us?
Because we are small and able
to provide full-time, on-site care, Turkey Creek Alpacas is always there to
assist when needed. We pride ourselves in that we hold the highest moral
standards and uphold the ethics of the industry. We provide complete and
accurate health records for each animal. We have fine tuned our record-keeping
to indicate such things as a dam’s exact breeding and birthing schedules, milk
and colostrum production, cria birth weight and growth rates.
Our animals have been
desensitized and trained at an early age making them easy to handle and care
for, a pleasure to have around. We know each animal’s personality, their
quirks and particular habits. To us they are “individuals”, not just part of
our herd.
We are quality driven,
service oriented, and small by choice. The bottom line is, we don’t only offer
support, we deliver!
