Hellwigs' Son Raised Alpacas, LLC was founded by
our son Zachary in 2005. He came home with an idea and our family
made it a dream come true. Patricia grew up on a beef farm that
her parents continues to maintain and run. She is a outreach coordinator
for cancer prevention. Patricia has experience in web page design
and computers. Dan is a Project Engineer and consultant. Learn

Founder:
Our son Zachary was only 18 months old when he discovered alpacas.
Zachary was enchanted by our neighbor's herd. Each day we took a walk,
Zachary would beg us to go visit the kind, gentle alpacas. No bigger
then a cria himself, Zachary was mesmerized by the alpacas.
As he matured, his interest did not subside, but grew as he did. More
alpacas came to our neighborhood and Zachary's love for alpacas continued
to evolve, inspiring us to begin our family's farm.
We could not have started Hellwigs' Son Raised Alpacas without giving
Zachary the credit he deserves. Like a growing child, Hellwigs' Son
Raised Alpacas grows with love.
We carefully picked our starting herd before making such a big decision.
We visited 13 different farms in New York State, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
We increased our herd, breeding to top service sires. We feel we started
a sound foundation to our farm.
We continue to make decisions as a family, always checking with the
Founder.
