Cibolo Creek Alpacas is a small family farm operating in
the Hill Country of Central Texas, approximately 30 miles
from the cradle of Texas independence in San Antonio. Our
alpaca ranch was established in the beautiful Hill
Country in 2004, when Suzanne Baker and George Sanford purchased
their first two girls and began the fulfillment of a better
life style and building a future in the Alpaca industry.
Interestingly, the thought of raising any animal was somewhat
foreign to Suzanne and George when moving from Houston with
one small dog into a rural area, just to get away from the
City. Similar to many other people, the development of a hobby
that involved animals was natural in this setting and Suzanne
developed a love of horses and became an avid rider. Next,
Samantha a lovable yellow lab was added to the family, and
somewhere along the way the apprehension of raising animals
gradually slipped away.
The journey into the world of alpacas began slowly, with
Suzanne starting to research the idea of alpacas, local farms
and the overall industry. The first visit to an alpaca farm/ranch
provided an overload of information, excitement, a fascination
with these wonderful animals and a slight apprehension of
the business potential. As the interest increased, more and
more research resolved lingering doubts. Our CPA assisted
in answering the financial and tax questions and the only
question left was not, if, but when and where to purchase.
If you are reading this page and wondering about alpacas,
we welcome you. We have walked the same path and now with
about 20 alpacas and several babies on the way, we encourage
your questions, your doubts and appreciate your interest in
what we offer on this website.
Please feel free to explore, to test, and achieve a comfort
level that the people here at Cibolo Creek and elsewhere in
the industry have questioned when they started with the same
thoughts and concerns.
We are here to help you succeed because your success is our
success.
