Get to know alpaca

Curious faces.
Remarkable fiber.

It usually starts with a look over the fence. Then you notice the fleece: soft curls, long locks, and colors that need no introduction.

01

Softness has a story

Finer, well-sorted alpaca fiber can feel beautifully soft. Grade, yarn, and the finished blend all matter.

02

Warmth you can wear

Alpaca is prized for insulating textiles. A lighter crew and a substantial boot sock each have their place.

03

Better together

Alpacas are social herd animals. They are often quiet and curious, and most appreciate a patient approach.

The Ray family

New roots.
Same family values.

We came from New Jersey to rural Tennessee looking for more privacy, more peace, and a quieter place to raise our family.

As a military family, we wanted home to feel steady. We found it here on Franklin Pike, with open land and alpacas whose quiet, watchful ways fit the life we hoped to build.

Happy Homestead is our family's place. We are glad you found your way here.
