We began our life with alpacas in 2015 when we purchased our first five alpacas. We came to the business having no experience in livestock or any type of farming and not know where this endeavor would take us. But with a wonderful community of other alpaca farmers we learned what we needed to know to keep these incredible animals healthy and productive. We continue to learn and seek out great partners to collaborate with.
Our goal is to raise high quality alpacas through breeding excellent genetics. We choose and breed only those alpacas that are capable of producing alpaca fiber that is soft, abundant and fit for wearing close to the skin. But genetics is only one factor. Excellent care and nutrition also affect the quality of the fiber they produce. So we're committed to the best practices that maintain their health and well being. This includes high quality feed, pasture, health care and cleanliness.
The proof of achieving our goal is in our products. Soft, luxurious and renewable, alpaca is truly one of nature’s finest ingredients.
Our Four Acres Living products are made from alpaca that is solely raised, sourced and milled in the US, so rest assured our alpaca wool products comes with love and care bred right in.
Our Mission
At Four Acres Living we believe that nature provides the best materials. We started our business producing one of the best resources nature has to offer, alpaca fleece. Since then we've branched out into other endeavors with natural resources. We dye our yarn with flowers we grow on the farm. We design beautiful silk scarves with flowers we've pressed. We have culinary offerings from herbs we grow in our garden. And the list goes on. Nature is abundant, beautiful and provides endless inspiration and opportunities to be creative. We offer all of these items to you so you can also Bring Nature Home.
