Mark and Cynthia Skorupinski opened Bell-E-Acres Alpacas in the spring of
2004 with the purchase of two older pregnant female alpacas. This endeavor
was the start of a dramatically different lifestyle for us and one that we had
been working towards ever since being introduced to alpacas at a county fair
in Northern Virginia a few years previously. We now have seven alpacas with
more on the way and are very excited to watch our small herd of alpacas
growing yearly.
The name of our farm was passed along to us with the large bell from Mark's
parents. They used to operate a black angus farm in Missouri and have been
very supportive of our efforts to become involved in raising livestock.
Our Purpose and Commitment
We recognize alpaca breeding as a means to producing quality fiber that may be used in clothing, accessories and for decoration. We are breeding for color, fleece density and fineness of fiber. It is our expectation to be able to provide fiber artists, spinners and others interested in utilizing alpaca fiber with a varied choice and a quality product that will enhance their own creations.
We are committed to providing for the needs of each of our alpacas in a manner that will allow them a healthy and productive life. Each of our alpacas receives hands-on care daily as regular interaction encourages them to be gentle and friendly as a natural outgrowth of their inherent curiosity.
