Mission Statement

SFAR MISSION STATEMENT

     The top priority at Strawberry Fields Alpaca Ranch is the health and overall welfare of every alpaca entrusted to us. We are committed to the focus and importance of responsible animal husbandry & breeding.

   The aim is to work collaboratively and in congress with the industries governing bodies and other alpaca ranches, affiliates and farms to advance, promote and enhance alpaca herds with integrity, consistency and dependability. 

     The breeding practice priority is to produce first: healthy alpacas,  second: breed toward a breed standard which includes finer fiber with greater density and uniformity of colour and architecture in their fleeces and a richer physical confirmation, in order to be a contributor to building a secure Alpaca Industry.

      Marketing is an essential aspect to the industry. SFAR is committed to educating the general public, other alpaca ranchers and farmers concerning the breed and the business by mentoring, sharing our knowledge and having experts in the industry at seminars and events held on or sponsored the ranch.                                

     SFAR deeply believes that success on our ranch comes as a collaborative effort with everyone that does business with us so all parties have a Win Win experience. Customer's Satisfaction is at the essence of everything done here. Therefore, the bar is set high for customer service excellence.
