We raise alpacas for fun and pleasure on our mountain property in Indianola, Utah.
We believe in the minimalist simplistic approach. That means you will only find their true colors here. If you want to try out their yarn, it is soft and strong and wonderfully warm with no dyes or added non-natural anything. Just their pure real simplistic adorable selves! Our yarn is for sale at The Corner Station Deli and Co-op located in Fairview, Utah at 111 S. State Street.

This is how Sparrow's Alpaca Haven came to be. My husband Boyd and I live and work together in Salt Lake City, Utah and have mountain property in Indianola, (a small community north of Fairview). In the big city, we are printers and oh, that can be ever so stressful! Our property is out in the country in WONDERFUL Sanpete county near Fairview and we just love it there! Out in the country, life is quiet. Out in the country, stars are bigger.
There is this road called Dairy Road - why it's called that, I have no clue? But on this road we would always see alpacas, very VERY cute alpacas. One day we stopped and talked with the owner of them and ...before we knew it we had two! It seemed like a pretty good idea at the time, why not have our alpacas eat the pasture grass for us instead of mowing it down with the tractor all the time? Just think of all the diesel fuel we'll be saving! Then the work began, and I soon came to find out ...NEVER ends!
We were fortunate to have began with two very good young females Molly and Emily. Once we found out how much fiber they produced and how soft and beautiful their fleece turned out, we knew we had to try and make something big happen with our little farm, remembering as we were told many times, "You always want to better your herd". Now what had began as a little hobby farm, we hope is turning into a pretty good serious business.
