The Suri Alpaca.  Suri fiber is slick, lustrous (shiny) and cool to the touch, but warm and comfortable

The Alpaca Marketing Group was founded in November, 2009, with the intention of promoting alpacas to interested individuals, families and businesses (e.g., farms) by coordinating and pooling resources, effort, activities and time.

Alpacas represent different things to different people. For some, alpacas are simply cuddly, lovable pets. Others see alpacas as a valuable source of revenue. As a breed stock, animals tend to command respectable prices. And alpaca fiber, in demand because of its fineness, warmth, and hypoallergenic qualities, can be a  source of regular income.

Please use this site as your portal to the web sites of our individual farm members, where you will find much more information about alpacas, their care, and information on purchasing alpacas and alpaca products. Click on the Contact Us page button and find links to web sites, addresses and phone numbers.

As alpaca breeders, we welcome visitors to our farms and hope you will contact us to come for a visit with our animals, or to join us for special events.
