WELCOME
TO CHESAPEAKE ALPACAS
and
to the wonderful alpaca lifestyle. Please explore our site to
learn more about us, the farm, our philosophy and the alpacas,
as well as the rewarding lifestyle and
investment potential associated with owning these gentle creatures.
We were originally
attracted to alpacas because of their beauty, rarity and rich
history. We have also discovered that alpacas seem to possess a unique
ability to unite people with similar goals and values. Our involvement in
the "wonderful world of alpacas" has provided an exciting opportunity
for friendship, travel, and personal enrichment.
One of the
principles which guide everything we do at Chesapeake Alpacas is our belief
that the key to success lies in attention to detail. From the carefully maintained
pastures to the well-kept barn facilities, this attention becomes obvious.
Alpacas are always the center of our focus, and their health and care our
main concern.
Our herd
comprises approximately equal numbers of huacayas and
suris ranging in color from pure white to true black and includes well
known, proven bloodlines from Peru, Bolivia and Chile. We recognize the necessity
of having alpacas of top quality. To achieve that standard we adhere to a
highly selective breeding program, which includes carefully matching males
to females in our never-ending attempt to improve each generation.
At
Chesapeake Alpacas your visit is always welcome. Here you will find a relaxed,
friendly, and supportive environment. Visitors to the farm are never pressured
or given a sales pitch. Instead, they are greeted by friendly folks who enjoy
sharing their passion for alpacas. In fact, you just may be invited to a feast
of Chesapeake Bay blue crabs pulled fresh out of the creek!
We are committed
to making Chesapeake Alpacas a place of support, friendship and education,
and we are dedicated to making alpaca ownership the best it can be. We invite
you to share the singular, life-changing experience that is love and appreciation
for the alpaca!
