Our Story

Wendi was born and raised in Northern California. Her mom grew up around horses and made sure Wendi had a chance to work with animals at a young age by participating in 4H. Her grandpa had also boarded horses, which exposed Wendi to taking care of large numbers of animals. 

In her twenties, she had children and took up the art of crochet, knitting, and stitching. She started a business where she made blankets, hats, scarves, booties, etc. She had been self-taught and now, 20 years later, is quite the fiber artist working with her Alpaca fiber. With the kids older and in school, she went back to college to become a registered nurse, motivated by the many medical issues her son was experiencing with his gut and autism diagnosis. 

In the last few years, she and her husband, Todd, got the bug to want to start a farm to provide work for their son when he becomes an adult. They searched for livestock that were docile and easy to care for, so adults with special needs would be safe and enjoy their experience around the animals. She visited an Alpaca Ranch in Loomis, CA, and immediately fell in love with the amazing calmness they brought, and as you look at their huge eyes, you just melt. In 2015, she told her husband we are starting an Alpaca Ranch, the rest is history.

Fast forward to 2025, and after buying, building, and selling 4 farms, they finally settled on a farm they will never sell. 132 acres in Centerville, TN, with a grove of pine trees reminding them of their northern CA roots, plenty of hardwood to process and mill into lumber, acres of pastures, and most importantly, plenty of natural spring water and year-round creeks. Wendi has taken her love of fiber to the next level and purchased a fiber mill made by Belfast in Canada after retiring from being a NICU nurse. This is her dream to work with fiber all day long, making amazing products for her customers, farms, and herself from her fiber animals. Todd sold his business and is going all in on the regenerative farm movement, powered by the MAHA mandate that spread across America. His vision is to create a farm where customers can come buy natural and chemical-free meat and dairy products, along with healthy eggs.
