Their house sold before they had a chance to find their new home, so the alpacas stayed at a friend’s house while the Kings searched for their dream home. Shortly after starting their herd, the Kings decided to make the move up to Idaho. “So one turned into two, which turned into four. “You can’t just have one because they’re a herd animal,” King said. The Kings returned home that afternoon with four young alpacas. King describes how she looked at her husband, wondering if they were going to commit to starting a farm. She was that dark and rich, so that’s what we named her: Cocoa bean.” “We fell in love with this little brown alpaca that looked like a cocoa bean. “We spent hours at this farm with the owner and her herd,” King explained. “After seeing her fleece and all of these beautiful animals, I thought to myself, ‘One of these days, I’m going to own alpacas.’”įlash forward to 2017, King and her husband were getting brunch one morning in Placerville, California, when they stumbled upon a sign directing travelers to an alpaca farm and store just down the road. “In 2011, before I even knew my husband, I was in Washington for a business trip and I drove past a farm that had 75 alpacas,” King said. But after staying at a Vrbo on an alpaca farm, Sasha King, the owner of Critters Creek Farm, knew these large, fuzzy teddy bears would be the newest addition to her family. When looking to grow a family by adding a few four-legged friends, most families consider a dog or a cat, maybe a bird or rodent if they’re feeling adventurous.
