Rainbow Run Farm is located in the beautiful foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northwest
North Carolina.

 We chose this area because of the friendliness of the people, and the beautiful scenery. 

It all began in 2004 after I had worked with a neighboring alpaca farm for 3 yrs.  With this valuable experience plus numerous more classes and seminars, I have learned what it takes to keep my "babies" happy and healthy.  I am always looking for more classes and chances to learn since new perspectives on these gentle creatures are
ever-changing.

Welcome to
Rainbow Run Farm

While Jonni is taking care of the alpacas, I am working hard on expanding the pastures.  I have planted orchard grass and Max Q non-toxic endophyte fescue plus have left non-toxic trees in the pasture for shade, and fenced it all in with 5' no climb horse fence.

Herd Management Tips For New Owners

Keep up with the latest alpaca health information.  What you learned a year ago might not be valid today.

Some Toxic Plants and Trees
Wild Cherry Trees - a few wilted leaves and your alpacas are dead.
Mountain Laurel, Night Shade, Red Maple Trees(other maples are fine), Rhododendrum, Fescue grass/hay(don't let your pregnant dams have any first or last 30 days of pregnancy.  None at all would be best.  For more see the "Links" page on our website.

Walk through your pastures to check for sharp objects that might injure your alpacas.  Make sure nothing is digging under the fences.

Make sure that halter is high up on the nose bridge.

Toenails grow at different rates on different alpacas.  Check yours monthly to see if they need a trim.

Set up your shearers as soon as possible.  If you wait until the last month or two you may not get the time schedule you want.
