Sweet Valley Alpacas

Sweet Valley Alpacas, alpacas, Boise, ID, are located in Ada County and the Treasure Valley near Nampa. Owners Valerie Dresslar and David Jones have been working with alpacas for several years and follow industry-recommended health testing for all fiber producers. They raise both huacaya and suri fiber types and maintain affiliations with national alpaca associations to stay current on herd management.

On their rolling hillside farm, alpacas enjoy daily pasture time, routine veterinary checkups, and early handling to encourage gentle temperaments. Their breeding philosophy balances fiber density with sound conformation, resulting in animals suited for both fleece production and light show classes. Situated in Boise’s dry climate, they tailor mineral supplementation to high-desert conditions. They also host informal farm visits for local fiber artists and share insights through community workshops. Attention to pastures and rotational grazing supports herd health on every acre.
