Greetings from Hickory Wind Farm!  Hickory Wind is a 70 acre farm located in the beautiful Coulee region of southwest Wisconsin (about 22 miles east of La Crosse, WI).  We feel we are very fortunate to be the dedicated “caretakers” of these steep forested hillsides and windy ridge tops.  We had often discussed adding livestock to our farm family but what animal would fit with our lifestyle and philosophies and still generate income?  After numerous discussions, many questions, lots of research and months of deliberation our first alpacas arrived at the farm in October 2004.  It did not take them long to establish their own very important niche in our day to day routine!

As our herd and related alpaca endeavors continue to increase, individualized care and attention for all of our animals continue to be a top priority. Raising alpacas has naturally fit with the responsible and conscientious attention that we give to our woodlands, gardens and fields, and the wild residents of Hickory Wind Farm.

Click on Alpacas to have a look at our current herd and to view our “For Sale’ listing.   Fiber will let you know what fleece, yarn, and roving colors are currently available at our farm store.  As participating members of AFCNA (Alpaca Fiber Cooperative of North America), we are very pleased to also provide a direct link to the co-op’s on-line store, America’s Alpaca.  The store offers a wide range of excellent products made from North American alpaca fiber!  Have a look at the Awards page to see how our alpacas are doing in the show ring and in fleece competitions.  And, About the Farm includes driving directions to the farm as well as other bits and pieces about Hickory Wind Farm.

Whether you are seriously shopping or curiously looking, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions, would like more information, or would like to arrange a farm visit.  Whether you are just learning about alpacas or have years of experience, we look forward to hearing from you soon!
