Welcome to our little piece of paradise!

Rain Dance Pond

Off the beaten path and down the road less traveled Ulla and Richard found 175 acres of forest in a peaceful setting. In 1989, we began our journey to escape the pressures of urban America. The forests provided tranquility and the pond cooled us on hot, summer days. The wildlife visited us and the fish were abundant. We had found a piece of paradise that provided the setting to let our frazzled nerves recuperate. However, something was missing...

On a trip, one of us (and we each point at the other) came across an article on a gentle animal, easy to raise, lovely to look at, with the added benefit of providing fiber for all sorts of projects. The idea of investment and future profit did not occur to us until we began to do our homework. We discovered that in addition to enhancing our life, Alpacas could help us earn an income. After spending time working on a large breeder’s farm we saw that although we were from an urban setting we could do this. Armed with all the positives, we decided to clear land, build the necessary buildings and fencing, and purchase our first animals.

Since then, it has been a labor of love. We have met many wonderful people. We have become involved with showing our animals, breeding, birthing, and all the rest that comes with having a living fur ball in your backyard.

Alpacas have become our way of life. We would like to share our experiences with you…come on over and see what we have done. Learn from our mistakes. And take a look at the barn. The one built by the Amish with lumber from our forest. It really doesn’t get much better than this.

If you are planning to visit Rain Dance Pond we suggest Inn by the Mill, a lovely inn only 10 minutes away in St. Johnsville, NY.
