About the Farm
Background
River Hill Ranch began with a commitment to living simply and prioritizing quality over quantity. The family operation has become known for raising high-quality Suri alpacas, focusing on producing high-end fiber for the textile industry. They purchase offspring from champion parents or animals retired from the show ring, ensuring excellent fiber quality through scientific analysis and skin biopsy reports.
Practices
The ranch employs traditional hard work and responsible farming practices to produce eco-friendly and healthy products. They emphasize humane treatment of their livestock, believing in respectfully sending animals to 'the greener pasture in the sky' for genetic improvement and herd health. Their approach includes regenerative agriculture, aiming to care for the soil and inspire visitors to adopt similar practices in their daily lives.
The Rest
River Hill Ranch offers educational tours for children and adults, customized to visitors' interests. The ranch store features a range of products from raw fiber to finished clothing. They also support various communities and causes, including farmer veterans, female farmers, slow fashion, and U.S. grown and manufactured goods.
