Marshy Meadows

Marshy Meadows is an alpaca breeder in Hillman, MN, in Central Minnesota near St. Cloud.

Dean has welcomed alpacas on the 39400 153rd St property for several seasons and follows industry guidelines for routine health screening and detailed genetic checks to ensure strong, healthy stock. Animals graze on rotational pastures adjacent to a handcrafted wooden shelter and enjoy daily handling to build trust and a calm disposition. Fencing and predator control measures reflect a strong focus on safety and animal well-being year-round. Each alpaca benefits from individualized care plans, seasonal dietary adjustments, and regular veterinary exams.

The herd’s fleece is known locally for its fine texture and consistent color, sought after by fiber artists across Morrison County and beyond. Shelters are available year-round to protect animals from harsh weather conditions. Dean’s approach blends traditional husbandry with a commitment to sustainable land stewardship and community education.
