Welcome

Peaceful Heart Alpacas is run by Sharla Willis, her parents Mike and Linda, and her son David. We were seeking a peaceful lifestyle where we could spend time working together outside, and we found it with our alpacas among the Blue Ridge Mountains.

 We love every aspect of raising alpacas, from our time with them each day to spinning and creating with their fiber. Our family is dedicated to raising alpacas with gentle temperaments and excellent fiber in a peaceful environment for alpacas and people.

Our alpacas are truly exceptional, chosen carefully for their fine fiber and bred to improve on that fineness while paying close attention to conformation and density. Our Reserve Color Champion Lord Tennyson is a great example of the success of our breeding program. Bloodlines represented in our herd include Hemingway, Caligula, The Silversmith, Peruvian Platinum, Don Juan, Bueno, Peruvian Matador, and Royal Fawn.In addition to high quality breeding stock, we also sell sweet natured geldings as pets and fiber animals.

 Be sure to visit our farm store. If you are looking for yarn or alpaca fiber to spin, we have a wide selection. We offer fiber art classes throughout the year, so check back with us often. Our store is also full of beautiful handmade clothing and household items made locally or Fair Trade items imported from Peru. You can also view and purchase the items through our online Farm Store.

Come by for a visit and a trip along “America’s Favorite Drive”. We are located on the Blue Ridge Parkway, directly across from the overlook at Mile Post 204. Just minutes from I-77 and Highway 52, Peaceful Heart Alpacas is easily accessible from Virginia and North Carolina.  Meet our alpacas and learn about the joys and challenges of raising them, then take time to experience the beauty and history of the Blue Ridge Mountain communities.

We look forward to meeting you!
