My teenage daughter, Magina, and I are running Imaginary Alpaca Ranch together.

I bring to this business a BS degree in finance and purchasing, 11 years hand raising and selling exotic parrots, family geneaology research, and 11 years in pre-automotive manufacturing where the biggest emphasis is on QUALITY, ZERO DEFECTS, and COST. I love to crochet small projects and you'll find my Alpaca Hats on sale as well as donated to cancer patients who deserve the luxury of alpaca fiber in 22 natural colors. I plan on learning to spin this winter, and have sent fiber out to the mill to be made into yarn and into rovings to get me started. By this fall, we expect to have a new alpaca fashion line by RAELYN online under our farm store.

Magina brings her bright young mind, imagination, and the enthusiasm of youth to our Imaginary Alpaca Ranch. She has started to learn Spanish this year at school, and is finding that she can DO MATH!! She also has an excellent memory and I often make use of it. She will be halter training the crias and helping to show them in the ring next Spring.

Together we will be agisting our herd at Amy J's Homestead Alpacas. We have found wonderful, friendly people there who are helping us to be successful in the alpaca business from start-up. If you have any questions for us or want to know anything about our alpacas, our fashion line, or those hats, we'd love to hear from you.
