Linda & I are long time members and enthusiastic supporters of NEAOBA.  The organization has helped supplement our marketing efforts and has offered us many opportunities to meet other alpaca enthusiasts and to develop important business contacts, many of which have evolved into long-standing personal relationships that we will always cherish.    

We maintain a moderate size hands-on breeding farm. From our start in 1996, it was our goal to maintain a herd size that allowed for individual attention, care & training of each member of our herd. Our size also ensures that each and every visitor or client, whether an experienced breeder or new to Alpacas, has our complete and personal attention and support.

Parris Hill Farm is in a small, picturesque Vermont village at the base of Mt. Ascutney in the Connecticut River Valley, just 25 minutes south of historic Woodstock, Vermont and Hanover, New Hampshire.

We expanded and totally renovated our main barn, designed and built four large and two smaller run-ins and incorporated a series of pastures and runways emphasizing ease of herd management and movement. We focused on the importance of pasture rotation and are continually adapting to the needs of bio-security and quarantining. The health of our herd and the health of our visitors and their respective herds is of paramount importance to us at all times.

We pride ourselves on the quality and breadth of our breeding stock, both for the females and the herd sires, and our ARI registered herd reflects the direct results of our selectivity in genetics. Searching for - and breeding - only the best has enabled us to produce Huacayas that are not only conformationally correct with superior fiber qualities and disposition but who have also earned high regard and recognition in the alpaca industry.
