Higher Ground Farm is the home to Sahalie Suri Alpacas breeding program. "Sahalie" is a Native American word for "a high place". Our alpaca affair began in 1999 when we purchased the farm with the old red barn and began looking for something to fill the pastures. Tom manages a high school full of teenagers as the assistant principal and athletic director. Denise is a therapist specializing Alzheimer's disease in the elderly. At the end of our stress filled weekdays we really wanted to come home to something peaceful and relaxing. Alpacas have been the perfect fit.

Our suri alpacas are all registered with the Alpaca Registry and are sold with full guarantees. We are passionate about breeding this rare and mysterious camelid. We breed for health and vitality, strong, correct conformation and premium fiber quality.  We strive  to produce healthy, vigorous suri alpacas who exhibit AND pass on to offspring the strongest suri alpaca characteristics.

Our alpacas roam on 15 acres of hills and valleys and hang out in their "designer" barn during hot summer days and frigid winter nights - they are happy and healthy alpacas who eat better than we do!

Our crowning acheivement in life has been raising the 4 most amazing daughters who are all making the world a better place. The two oldest are nurses now, the two youngest still deep into their college educations. Our alpacas have been a vibrant thread in the fabric of their beautiful lives.

We love to intorduce new and "potential" breeders to the suri alpaca and our suri alpaca industry.  Come for a visit..........our farm is always open.

~~~ Spring is in the air and cria birthing season is almost here. Anticipation fills the farm and soon alpacas will fill our barn. Time to seriously look at selling our produce from last year. Take a look at new prices and consider a package for your farm ~~~~
