IBIWISI Alpacas is located in southeastern Vermont, easily accessible via I-91 from Massachusetts or via Rts 12 & 123 from New Hampshire. Owned by myself, Cathy McKenny, and run with the assistance of my husband Fred, IBIWISI represents the creation of a wonderfully fulfilling lifestyle. Since 2001 we have been breeding healthy, colorful, huacaya alpacas and we operate with the highest level of commitment to our herd AND to our clients. The farm is currently the home to over 30 prancing alpacas, 8 cackling hens, 1 very proud rooster, and 4 hugely spoiled cats.
Upon first meeting us, most people ask about the origin of the name "IBIWISI." An acronym for the somewhat cynical phrase "I'll Believe It When I See It," the name originated from the skepticism of many of my colleagues and peers in New York City when I announced my plan to leave life in the big city for adventure among the alpacas. Now, settled in my hillside farm enjoying the seasonal rhythm of alpaca life, I occasionally give a little wave to the south and happily think "Believe It!"
Quality Alpacas - Here at IBIWISI we take pride in providing quality products and services to our customers. We offer alpacas that range from fiber quality animals, to robust and reproductively-sound breeding stock, to show-quality alpacas that will send your blood racing in the ring! Our breedings are selected based on specific advancements we would like to see in the herd, and we are pleased to report solid improvement year after year.
Quality Client Support - Alpacas are expensive and we want you to be confident and secure in your decision to buy from us. Each alpaca we sell is backed by our farm guarantee, plus we pledge full disclosure on the health and history of every animal so you may rest easily that you will find no “surprises.” You may add to that our promise of solid client support throughout |
