Evergreen Terrace Farms Home Page
Nestled in the Willamette Valley, Oregon's wine country, Evergreen Terrace Farms is just fifteen miles west of Salem, Oregon, and only five miles from Western Oregon University.
At Evergreen Terrace Farms, we breed Huycaya alpacas for colored, ribbon-winning fleeces. We offer breeding and non-breeding (fiber) alpaca stock in a spectrum of colors, as well as stud services from our color-producing alpaca studs.
In addition to alpaca ranching, Evergreen Terrace Farms is home to our alpaca blog and our alpaca podcast, Paca Talk, the only alpaca podcast that is currently in production. Check out the links to the blog and the podcast below.
Please come and visit us! Directions and contact information are available via the links to the right.

White Roving and Quilt batting on the way!
I took 58 lbs. of white alapca fiber to the mill on Saturday, and I expect to get some 40 of it back as white roving.
The rest of it, moslty 2nds that won't make nice roving, will be blended with wool and sent through a felting machine. This will be perfect for making super-warm, luxury quilt batting. It will be white, so it can be used with any quilt material and won't show through.
This should all be available in April. I'll be sure to announce when I pick it up from the mill.
Thank you to all of those who voted in our poll on Facebook and here on the blog. Your opinions really matter to me.

Baby Hiatus
Hi Loyal Listeners! Paca Talk is on baby hiatus. That is, Maren is going to have a baby any second, and so we can’t commit to recording on any regular schedule. We’ll return soon. Until then, enjoy our archives! Maren and Charles - July 25, 2010: Paca Talk #28 — Alpaca Festival of Oregon Recap
