Hopeful Hills Ranch

Hopeful Hills Ranch raises alpacas in Glenwood, MN, west central Minnesota near Minneapolis. Jane Fauskee and Randy Fauskee have been caring for alpacas for several years and follow registry guidelines with regular health testing.

Their pasture-based setup includes sheltered loafing areas and daily interactions to support socialization and gentle temperaments. Fiber is shorn annually on site and processed with a focus on balanced nutrition and minimal stress.

Visitors note the calm environment and knowledgeable guidance from the owners, reflecting a commitment to animal well-being. Through sustainable practices on their family-run ranch, the Fauskees aim to share the rewards of alpaca stewardship with interested communities. Their breeding choices emphasize fleece density and a calm disposition that benefits both novice handlers and seasoned breeders. Alpaca fleeces from the ranch have been displayed at regional fiber festivals, earning praise for their soft hand and uniform crimp.
