Jackie King has more than a decade of hands-on experience and maintains active membership in the Alpaca Owners Association, with regular health screenings and detailed herd records for traceability.

Animals live on open pastures with daily turnout, gentle morning handling and seasonal enrichment activities to promote social confidence and ease of care. A focus on fleece consistency, staple length and soft temperament guides breeding decisions, resulting in fiber ideally suited to handspinners, weavers and small-scale mills. Visitors often note the calm herd, the inviting layout of paddocks and the farm’s emphasis on natural husbandry practices at the historic Fern Creek property. Their breeding program emphasizes hardy genetics adapted to seasonal swings, with lineage records and annual micron testing that ensure each fleece meets consistent standards. Seasonal offerings include raw fleece, processed batts and hand-dyed yarn crafted by regional partners who respect the fiber’s natural qualities.
