History of ALPACAS of Tualatin Valley

(Inaugural Member of I Love Alpacas.com)

Our Ranch Located in the Heart of Alpaca Country, ATV had its beginning in 1988 on 11 acres of secluded property. In 2003, we expanded onto 45 acres of prime farmland where we are located just ten minutes from our famous neighbors, Intel and one mile from The Reserve Golf Course! Comfortable accommodations, fine dining and easy shopping are also within a few minutes drive.

We maintain a herd of approximately 150 Peruvian, Bolivian and colorful Chilean alpacas that are produced outstanding North American offspring. We specialize in white, fawn, red and black in both suri and huacaya.

What Are We About

Our emphasis is on good health, excellent conformation and top quality fiber producing animals with post sales support surpassed by none. Equally important is our desire to serve the alpaca industry with integrity as we look forward to an extensive and productive future.

Lona & John

Lona is a retired accountant and aviator who traded in her suits, high heels and helicopter for jeans, tennis shoes and alpacas. She has a deep love of these wonderful creatures and it shows in her management. She has developed an outstanding nutrition program with the assistance of renowned nutritionists, and works tirelessly with distinguished veterinarians to maintain the health and well being of her herd. She has strived to build one of the finest and most diverse small herds in the nation.

John is a retired electronics engineer and manufacturer of solid-state equipment. After 40 corporate years, John finds great satisfaction in designing equipment at his leisure for use with the alpacas. His first nationally recognized invention was the UltraVac designed to ease Lona's workload in pasture maintenance. It quickly caught on and sold countrywide. John also developed the Frank Fountain, a heated and easy to clean automatic water system and continues to come up with new and innovative ideas.
