Alpacas in Michigan at the Grand Alpaca Company
WELCOME!
We are excited to announce our recent move from Grand Rapids, MI to Montague, MI. We are thrilled with the potential of the new farm and the opportunities it provides for raising alpacas in Michigan.
The 60 mile relocation places Grand Alpaca Company just over one half mile from Lake Michigan and only seven short miles from US-31. We can feel and smell the lake when we step out our door and we are surrounded by the most beautiful and vibrant cherry, peach and apple orchards here on our 40 acres.
The majority of our 50 huacaya alpacas were purchased from the original owners of Grand Alpaca Company, Tim and Jane Talbott. Tim and Jane have been pioneers in the alpaca farming industry within the United States for over 30 years. They have mentored us in all walks of the industry and we have developed a very close relationship, both business and personal. We are practically family!
God has blessed our early endeavors and we commit to Him our love, joy and stewardship of His creation, both the graceful animals He has entrusted to us and beautiful countryside we so enjoy. We know that with God as our focus, He will lead Grand Alpaca Company to bigger and better things at our new location.

About AlpacasIn 1985, when the Grand Alpaca Company was established in Michigan, there were an estimated 350 alpacas throughout all of North America. According to the Alpaca Owners Association or AOA, as of 2015 there are over 243,000 registered alpacas in the U.S. The reason for such exponential growth is simple - people recognize the financial and personal benefits of alpaca ownership. Alpaca owners will tell you that alpaca ownership is its own reward.
