About Us

We are Roger and Lou and we both worked for IBM in Hampshire until 2001 when we left the rat race and move to rural west Wales and bought our farm, some alpacas, some young ewes and a ram.

The pace of life here is much slower, which can be a bit frustrating at times, but on the whole we wouldn't go back (though Rog misses his golf).

We chose alpacas because they are graceful animals that supply us with wonderful fibre which we sell for hand spinning.

The sheep were originally brought in to keep the grass under control, as it would take a large herd of alpacas to eat it all!

Our original flock was of Beulah Speckle Face ewes, and later we kept Llanwenogs. These are an attractive looking sheep with a rich creamy fleece and black faces and legs. The breed name is taken from the parish of Llanwenog which is only a few miles from us. The Llanwenog breed has recently come off the rare breed list, and numbers are slowly increasing as more people discover this docile and prolific sheep. We are members of the Llanwenog Sheep Society.

Over the past couple of years, Rog has had knee problems which have made it more and more difficult to him to walk, let alone run a small farm, so we sold the sheep and we are now offering the alpacas for sale too.
