We have been thinking about raising alpacas for a few years now, but it has only become a serious option in the last few months. This is mainly because we are leaving our lives in London and moving to New Zealand. At first we had planned to carry on geeking it up in NZ, basically doing the same as we are now just in a nicer place. But over the last couple of months we have both become dissatisfied with our lifestyle – so much so that we decided to change it all and pursue our dream.

You dream of alpacas?

No, not exactly, our dream is more about living sustainably and doing something we love instead of working away for ‘the man’. It just happens that we both also love alpacas, and they fit into the kind of lifestyle we want perfectly!

The perfect investment

We all know the financial world is a mess at the moment. Who wants to invest in the banks after the mess that they caused? Certainly not us. But alpacas can turn out to be a fantastic investment in the current climate, as AlpacaFarmGirl points out.
