Welcome to Paradise




Our Alpaca ranch is nestled at the foothills of the Rockies, in a small town called Paradise, in the North East corner of Utah (yes, it truly is Paradise!). We are located only 8 miles South of Logan and enjoy the beauty of the Wasatch and Wellsville mountains that surround us. We fell in love with alpacas in 2003 and bought our first maiden in January of 2004 and waited patiently for her to be old enough to breed. The day finally came, and after may tries she tested positive for her pregnancy. We anxiously waited a full year for our first cria (baby alpaca) to come, when sadly she had a dystocia and our first cria died. But since that day we bought 2 more females, and with a little luck on our side our 3 breeding moms gave us 3 beautiful female crias in 2006 and 2 more in 2007. So ahead we forge in the wonderful world of alpacas. We look forward to all of the fun and excitement and yes even times of disappointment that comes along with owning these wonderful animals. We moved to Northern Utah in 2007 and have loved it ever sense. We love it here in Paradise and enjoy our evenings sitting on our front porch, or sitting in the back pasture watching the alpacas graze and just soaking in the views.
