Ambriel Acres Alpacas

In this blog, I'm going to talk about our alpaca farm, Ambriel Acres Alpacas. We are located in the Middle Tennessee Valley between Nashville and Chattanooga. We'll be essentially starting from the ground up so if you're thinking about starting your own alpaca business, this might be a good place to learn. If you're just curious, welcome aboard.

Woodhenge

I rented an auger for the weekend and got busy drilling 41 10" holes 3 feet deep for the 6x6 posts. Jim and I worked like crazy people and with the help of my stepson Kris we threw the massive posts in with no injuries. We had a severe storm come through last night and the wind was still howling today so we'll wait until the winds die down to set them in concrete.





It looks like Woodhenge out there with all those posts sticking in the ground. My wife Tara decided while we were at it, we might as well go ahead and build another 24' x 30' structure to house our Airstream trailer and tractor. So in the picture you can see that building being constructed on the right behind the barn.

I'd offer to come help, but those posts sound like too much work. How soon until Anna's new home is complete?

Hi Kim,

I'm hoping to have the barn built in 3 more weeks. Then I'll still have a few thousand feet of fencing to put up. And we need a good stand of orchard grass so I'm hoping we have a growth spurt this Spring. If all goes well we're shooting for a June 1st arrival for the girls.
