In 1946, my grandfather, William Buis, purchased 160 acres North of Holland to raise silver fox for their prized fur. Now, four generations later, my daughters are an integral part of the suri alpaca farm on the same property.

I am a "retired" bank VP turned stay-at-home mom. My husband is self employed as an independent insurance agent. We had raised Golden Retrievers for nearly 10 years and have always had a love for animals. In 1997, when we heard about alpacas and started our research all the answers came back "that would really work for us." Trees were cleared, shelters built and fence posts set. As they say, "the rest is history". Our small farm has claimed national respect through the quality of our alpacas, our integrity, and our careful attention to health.

Our sights are focused on lustrous, and tightly locked suri's of great conformation and presence. It's the basis for all of our breeding decisions. We will remain small which means we are intently focused on your satisfaction.
