My husband Mike and myself live on a small ranch in Sequim, WA USA. We have 17 alpacas, 2 llamas, 2 dogs and 5 cats. We have two sons and a daughter who is expecting her 4th child (our 4th grandchild). We raise alpacas for their fiber and sell items made from their fiber in my store in my barn. We have many visitors to our ranch throughout the year from all over the world. It is a great business and that is how I became familiar with Novica. Our goal is to some day have our store filled with hand made items created from our alpacas. The alpacas like it when someone comes to visit who is wearing 'alpaca.'
