Wonderful And Unique Alpaca Farm In The Rolling Hills Of Idaho
Do you even know what an Alpaca is?
Alpacas are indigenously in South America and are members of the Camelid family. They were first imported to the United State in 1984.
Have you ever wanted to stay at an Alpaca farm?
Maybe, maybe not. Either way, when driving by an Alpaca farm it's always a head turner! They are just so fun to watch and interesting to be around when you get to experience them.
If you didn't know there's an Alpaca farm in northern Idaho just north of Moscow.
Grazing Hills Ranch is located in the hills of Palouse.
The start of their journey is such a great story "It began in 1993 when alpacas were featured on the Today Show. Joyce Gray had to have one. One turned into ten, and today we are almost to fifty! We were the second alpaca farm in Idaho. Now there are many farms scattered throughout the state and even more dot the other 49 states."
"Joyce Gray was my "Nana" (grandmother) and she had the vision to make this farm something amazing and different. She convinced my parents, Paul and Connie, to also become alpaca farmers and join in the adventure about a year later. I was just 7 years old when Nana bought the first one, Remy. I was hooked on these adorable critters and still am today."
