A Simpler Time - Alpacas & Mill

Located in the hills of El Cajon, about 30 minutes from San Diego, this family-operated ranch has been dedicated to raising alpacas with love and professional care. Known for their personalized approach, they have built long-term relationships with clients, viewing the placement of their alpacas as adoptions rather than mere transactions. Their commitment to customer support extends far beyond the sale, ensuring continuous assistance and training.

The ranch prioritizes the well-being of their alpacas, providing them with the finest feed, vitamin supplements, and professional veterinarian care. Each alpaca receives individual attention, ample exercise, and fresh air. Additionally, the ranch operates a fiber processing mill, turning alpaca fiber into yarn, roving, batts, or felt sheets, ensuring the cleanest possible fiber through multiple passes in the fiber separator.

The ranch offers a 'Save a Spot' program for fiber processing, allowing customers to reserve processing times and ensure timely completion of their orders. They emphasize clear communication and detailed instructions for shipping fiber, aiming to provide the best yield and cleanest fiber at the lowest cost. Their fiber processing services are highly regarded by satisfied customers, who appreciate the quality and affordability of the final products.
