**NEW LOCATION**
We just moved!!! We are now just one block North from our previous location…the alpacas didn’t move at all! Note the new address on our “Contact Us” page. We now have a full-time “Store” at our new location and we are always open by appointment so contact us and stop by!
Firwood Farm Alpacas is located about 30 miles south of Seattle in the heart of the beautiful Puyallup Valley. Firwood Farm is owned by Greg and Leanna Stidham and named after a neighborhood many “old timers” refer to as Firwood.
We have found our alpaca business to be very rewarding and the alpaca community extremely helpful to anyone interested in raising alpacas. We continue to be amazed at how many people do not know what an alpaca is and we are eager to share ourknowledge and experiences with everyone we meet.
At this time, we are a small farm situated on one acre of fertile valley soil which offers excellent forage for our alpacas. We work closely with others in the alpaca community, have tested our water, and researched the best combination of “chow” (grain), hay and vitamin/mineral supplement that we feed to our alpacas. We strive to provide a safe and healthy environment for all alpacas on our farm.
We are excited to announce that we have acquired “Eastwind’s Pagador” who is a proven herd sire with winning bloodlines and a winner at past Alpacapalooza shows. The quality of Pagador’s true black fleece is his claim to fame.
We also believe you must provide a quality environment for your animals if you want to produce the quality fiber and quality offspring. There are many factors that contribute to this environment and following are just a few:
- Nutrition: To quote Dr. Norman Evans, noted alpaca veterinarian, “Anyone can feed but nutrition requires some effort.” Our alpacas have access to fertile pasture, orchard grass hay, chow (grain) and a high quality vitamin/mineral supplement as well as natural well water that has been tested to confirm its quality. Healthy and well-cared for animals are our number one goal.
- Shelter: Alpacas require shelter from the wind and rain as well as a place to offer hay and supplements that are kept dry. All the alpacas at our farm are offered a dry and comfortable shelter.
- Veterinary Services: We have retained Country Animal Hospital in Enumclaw, Washington to provide our primary veterinary services. Three veterinarians at Country Animal Hospital specialize in alpaca care. We are fortunate to have such high-quality care available to us and less than 20 miles away.
Thank you for your interest in our passion.
-Greg & Leanna Stidham,
founders of Firwood Farm Alpacas
