Welcome to Hill Country!
We are a small farm midway between Katikati and Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty and we would love to share our passion and enthusiasm for our animals with you. We breed Huacaya alpacas in a range of colours and coloured sheep, predominantly Corriedale for their fine wool. In addition we have a small herd of Angora goats for their beautiful fibre.
Our aim is to maximise the fantastic properties of all of the fibre from our animals to produce stunning carded fibre, yarn and woven products. We have our own "cottage industry" picker and carder for processing the fibre and 2 looms for creating woven products.
We would like more people to become involved with these beautiful animals, all with an individual personality and so are committed to helping others start their own herd at realistic, affordable prices. Contact us today to talk about your dream....
