We're at the Redmond Saturday Market - 9am-3pm every Saturday through the end of October.

Our Farm is regularly open Sundays from 11am-5pm until November.  Then we're adding Saturdays from 11am-5pm as well as by appointment.

Heart of Dreams Alpacas is dedicated to the concept of breeding healthy, conformationally correct, finely fibered animals.  Our ongoing research into genetics, herd sire traits, trends in fashion etc. will provide reality checks as our breeding program progresses, remember the old adage of “Working in a vacuum …”.  We also decided to make the jump into both Suri and Huacaya animals instead of focusing on one and bringing the other onto the farm at a later date.  We are confident that by doing this we will be better able to answer the needs of our clients and visitors with respect to the question, “What is an alpaca?”.

We are located in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in the Seattle area of Washington state.  We have five acres of rolling pasture that currently supports horses, a pony, two llamas and a growing herd of alpacas. 

The alpaca herd is a combination of geldings, bred and open females as well as youngsters.  Our first crop of babies, in 2005, consisted of a white, Huacaya female, Iraida and a beige, Suri male, Alex.

We also purchased a young, medium fawn, Suri, Cumbi’s Brut – a junior herd sire we successfully bred in late 2007.

Our newest venture is the opening of a Farm Store at the farm in 2008.  Currently the store is open on Sundays from 11am - 5pm due to our booth duty at the Redmond Market on Saturdays from 9am-3pm through the end of October.  That will change in November when we have a booth at the Ballard Sunday Market

Ranch visits are available by appointment. Please plan on at least two hours because once we get to talking about alpacas it’s hard to stop, and you’ll find you have more questions than you realized. Plus they’re just fun to watch.  Feel free to start your investigation into alpacas by emailing your interest and/or questions at pam@heartofdreamsalpacas.biz. .  As has been mentioned, we love to talk to anyone and everyone about alpacas.

Please explore our Evolution page to see the genesis of Heart of Dreams.  Our picture gallery is always fun to wander through and see what has changed.

Our history with alpacas is both recent and goes back many years.  Pam has been involved with a variety of fiber arts for over 15 years.  She was exposed to many types of fiber including dog (her American Eskimo), camel, flax and alpaca.  It was only recently that alpacas came to the fore as a possible career change.  She spent months researching alpacas, their needs, uses, problems etc. before sitting the family down to discuss the possibility of starting a farm of their own.  From that beginning came Heart of Dreams Alpacas.  We purchased our herd and brought them home in September of 2004, after adding perimeter fencing, cross fencing and shelters.  And that’s where we are today.  We are optimistic that in five years or less the sale of alpacas, fiber, various lessons and yarn will become Pam’s full time job.  Fortunately alpaca farming is something that can be done in addition to a full time job AND the whole family pitches in with the chores for all the animals.
