THE ALPACA INDUSTRY

An Industry for the next generation

If we take care with careful stewardship of this wonderful resource there is no reason we can not enjoy it for as long the Peruvians have, for over 6000years.

Alpacas are an ancient breed but have only been in North America for just over a decade. This industry is an exciting young one with lots of room for new participants. Imagine being a pioneer and having an influence on this industry's growth and direction.

The Gentle Grazers

Sustainable Agriculture
Alpacas are uniquely positioned to become leaders as the most eco-friendly livestock species ever!

Alpacas have the ability to get every morsel of food value out of their feed which creates a much smaller carbon foot print because we feed less than other larger livestock.
Their efficient digestive systems reduce pressure on pastures and their padded feet minimize damage to the land.
They keep their pastures cleaner because of their ability to share communal dung piles. Their manure can go right into gardens with no composting needed, no burning and very little weeds grow from it.
Because alpacas are rarely sick we do not use a lot of medications, so even their manure is cleaner than a lot of regular livestock's manure.

IAOC AKON

Akon did very well at the "2009 Pacific Coast Alpaca Show," taking a first and winning reserve Fawn Champion against 17 alpacas.

We are located half way between Nanaimo and Victoria on Vancouver Island in Glenora, a little community in the Cowichan Valley ten minutes west of Duncan. The inspiration for our name, Pacific Sun Alpacas, comes from the Pacific Ocean and Sun comes from Cowichan, the Native word for Warmland.

 

"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines! Sail away from the safe harbor! Catch the trade winds in your sails! Explore! Dream!"
