Welcome to Turkey Creek Alpacas
... where the customer comes first!
Our site was designed for the new alpaca farmer and is loaded with helpful information. Our website was made with YOU in mind because it's important to us that you feel prepared and comfortable when it's time to bring your new animals home. `
Why buy from us?
Because at Turkey Creek Alpacas, our number one top priority is YOU, the customer!
Since 2001 we have been assisting new and existing farms with everyday questions, barn & site setup, pasture management, training, you name it! We are also very fiber-driven and proof of that can be found in our farm produce—home-grown and hand-woven, knitted, crocheted and felted products.

We breed for fineness and we pride ourselves on the high quality fleeces we are seeing throughout our herd. Take some time to read our fiber pages and you will see that we are committed to growing superior fleeces. High quality alpacas and customer service are what we've built our reputation on. Just ask our customers. More than once we've been told, we wish we would have come to you first!ť |

We pride ourselves on honesty, integrity and true friendship with our customers. We strive to hold the highest moral standards and uphold the ethics of the industry. We provide complete and accurate health records for each animal. We have fine tuned our record-keeping to indicate such things as a dam's exact breeding and birthing schedules, milk and colostrum production, cria birth weight and growth rates.
Our animals have been desensitized and trained at an early age making them easy to handle and care for, a pleasure to have around. We know each animal's personality, their quirks and particular habits. To us they are individualsť, not just part of our herd.

Our story
Nestled in a wooded corner overlooking a rambling creek, Turkey Creek Alpacas is located in the heart of Amish country in northern Indiana bordering Elkhart and Kosciusko Counties.
Our farm started in 2001 with only a log home on 4 acres. Everything needed for raising alpacas was built from the ground up - 2 barns, fencing and gates, seeding pastures, a farm shop, the works! Needless to say, it was quite an adventure.
Our alpaca "adventure" started after seeing an ad on the Discovery channel which portrayed the animals as gentle and easy to manage. We spent many hours researching the alpaca business and visited several farms.
|
Raising the animals as a small business was appealing to us because the end product from the animal, soft and luxurious wool referred to as "fiber", is obtained without harm.
The appeal to raise "green" livestock with the added bonus of a naturally sustainable end product was exactly what we were searching for. Not to mention the fiber is harvested with no harm to the animal. |

We view the alpaca business as a two-fold opportunity - the first being the breeding and sales of animals - and the second the start of a cottage business from the fiber.
Our goal is to breed healthy animals with correct conformation - and most of all - breed with superior fiber in mind! - And we have several to choose from!
Our focus is on to create end products utilizing the unique qualities of the alpaca fiber.
Our choice to be a small farm allows us the opportunity to give individual attention to our animals that larger farms often cannot. With this approach, we can assure the best attention, nutritionally and health-wise for each animal.

We invite you to tour our farm and share our enjoyment of the alpacas and this exceptional lifestyle.
Warmly,
Liz & Lee
