Querencia refers to a favorite place to relax and enjoy life, and we, Marie and Dennis Hurley have found our perfect niche raising alpaca. We use our consistently fine Alpaca fiber for a myriad of beautiful, luxurious items from quilt batts and felted items to hand knit sweaters, hand woven or knit scarves, shawls, rugs, and even alpaca waste is used to grow a bountiful garden. Our alpaca keep the pastures trim and they entertain us with their delightful antics.

As a CPA and tax lawyer, Dennis appreciates the value of our herd as a source of potential revenue, from selling pets and breeding stock, raw fleece, and hand made fiber creations, to herd sire services, as well as their investment potential. As our herd improves due to the influence of our own males, it also benefits by the availability of some of the top machos in the U.S. Just check out our Bogart, Rico Suave, El Trauco and Tequila Sunrise cria, while you are admiring the handiwork of Aaron and Limoncello who mark their cria with lovely handle through lowered C of V, improved fineness and marked crimp style.
