About Us

Long Hollow Alpacas was started in 2002, on a five acre farm, as an alternative to traditional farming. Traditional farming usually entails a one-way road trip for animals, so raising alpacas is our cruelty-free alternative! In 2008 we moved to our new 62 acre facility in Gallatin Tennessee.

We also ran a fiber mill at our farm for many years which provided us a unique insight into natural fiber production and, subsequently, breeding alpacas for certain traits that work best with commercial fiber production.

We decided on Suri Alpacas for their lustrous rope-like twisted locks. In addition, Suri Alpacas account for approximately 1%-3% of the world population of fine fiber producing animals.
