| About Us |
| Breeding for the Best... At Abbondanza we breed first for long-term health and genetic soundness. Next we breed for fine, dense and crimpy fleeces and solid body structure, and then finally for the extra details for the show ring. Our initial herd was from rare Bolivian lines, which have produced a beautiful foundation herd for us. These diverse genes are much needed to help maintain "hybrid vigor" in the genetically limited N. American alpaca population. We have carefully bred into our initial herd excellent males from Peruvian and Chilean lines in an attempt to create the very best North American alpaca. Males bred in include males from lines such as Peruvian Royal Fawn, Pluro, Mr. President, and Santiago, among others. We invite you to come visit and meet some of these fine alpacas. |
| Committed to your success... We know from our own experience that it takes more than just the purchase of an alpaca to make you a successful alpaca farmer. You need someone to help you plan, to help educate you in the care of the animals, and to be there for the long haul to answer your questions and to provide continuing support and friendship.... Much of your long-term success in this new business venture will be up to you--- your commitment to learning, to making the effort to network with other farms, and to properly market your product. But.... you need some initial help and education; you need the personal attention that a small farm can give you. We have dedicated much of our time to our clients, as well as to other small farmers in the region. We are both charter members of The Alpaca Small Farm Network, and Susan was the founding president. Several years of our lives have been dedicated to providing education for new breeders, helping them network with other farms in their area, and to personally going out and helping farms in our area in times of need. We are sincerely committed to helping our clients succeed in this industry. |
| About Us... We have been in the alpaca business about 6 years now, and love it! We live in Greenville, SC, not too far from the NC foothills, and just a few minutes off of Hwy. 85. Zac. is an art professor at a local university; Susan was formerly a retail business owner, but is now a full-time alpaca farmer. We love having these sweet, gentle creatures as a part of our life. We could not imagine our life without them! We welcome you to come visit with us and spend some time with our alpaca family. |
