WELCOME ~

Rockyfield Farm is situated on 80 peaceful wooded acres of rolling hills in eastern Kansas. We are located halfway between Topeka and Lawrence, not far off of I-70, and about an hour from Kansas City.

Along with our 4 daughters we are enjoying sharing our farm and lives with these unusually peaceful and gentle animals. We find the care of alpacas a welcome respite in a busy, preoccupied world. Yes, they really help to restore the soul with their quiet humming and big dark eyes. And there is nothing like watching energetic little crias, only a few days old, running and jumping together in the sunshine…

Alpacas are intelligent, pastoral creatures that can be easily taught to lead and are gentle enough for even children to handle safely. Our alpacas are recipients of lots of hands-on loving care.

Having lived in the country our whole married life, we already knew we loved the lifestyle. We've raised cattle in the past, have horses, but wanted to find an animal that would be easy for girls to handle, and that wouldn't require harming it to make a profit. After researching extensively, we found the perfect answer for our family. It didn't take long to fall in love with those fuzzy, big-eyed, funny humming long-necks.

With my background in fine art I was drawn to their peaceful grace, unique beauty, and luxurious fiber. My husband, with his degree in agricultural business, saw the potential investment and tax advantages. Our daughters just thought they were, well… “cute!”

We have found the training methods of Marty McGee Bennett to work well for us, which focus on building a relationship with our alpacas based on these principles: kindness, respect, efficiency, and fun.

Every one of our alpacas comes from notable lineage. We have the bloodlines of PPeruvian Vengador, 6Peruvian Accoyo Godfather, P
eruvian Bueno, Peruvian Pizarro, PPeruvian Caligula, PPeruvian Elever, Peruvian Hemingway, 4Peruvian Legacy, Peruvian Fabio, Peruvian Presidio, Peruvian Donovan, Accoyo Peruvian Augusto, .... and more.


We would love to have you come visit our farm. Give us a call or email. We truly enjoy sharing with others about these amazing animals!
