History

Why not share with site visitors the story of how your alpaca farm came about?

After all, many of the people who find your website will be in the same position you once were: wondering if the alpaca lifestyle is for them, how they can make a sound financial investment, and what it takes to succeed in alpaca farming.

No matter which stage you’re in now, keep in mind you can add to this page as you go, with our simple content management system.

If you’re just starting out with one alpaca boarding at another farm until you get your own property set up, you can tell visitors all about the particular choices and challenges up to this point – and then update it as your farm grows. You’ll be documenting your farm’s history as you go!

And of course it you’ve been in the business for a long time and have a thriving farm, your site visitors will be encouraged to hear how it all came about for you.

Some details you can talk about on this page include:

• Why you chose to invest in alpaca farming
• How you chose the name of your alpaca farm
• Marketing strategies you tried that succeeded (or flopped!)
• How you decided on a particular location for your farm
• A timeline account of your farm’s development:
  • Document the number of alpacas in your herd at year 1, year 2, year 5, etc.
  • When you added structures such as a barn
  • How you began offering the services you specialize in
  • Training events you attended
  • When you started showing your alpacas
  • Fiber and breeding milestones
