Higher Ground Farm is
the home to Sahalie Alpaca Breeding Company. "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 is a special education teacher by background and now manages a
high school full of teenagers as the assistant principal and atheletic director.
He spends his day solving one teenage crisis after another. Denise is a
therapist working with special needs kids in the schools. At the end of our
stressful weekdays we really wanted to come home to something peaceful and
relaxing. Alpacas have been the perfect fit. Our 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 in both suri and huacaya alpacas. We strive to use every bit of information and training we can get our hands on to
produce healthy, vigorous alpacas who exhibit AND pass on to offspring the strongest premium 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 introduce new and "potential" breeders to the
wonderful alpaca as well as our suri and huacaya industry. Come for a visit..........our farm is always open.
