Alpacapeña's owners, Mark and Irene Garner have been in the alpaca industry since 1996, so can offer our clients almost a decade of experience with these wonderful animals. The property, Riverside, understandably on Paddys River in the NSW Southern Highlands has been purpose developed for alpacas thus optimising the best possible farm management and alpaca 'simpatico'. The boutique herd is managed by careful record keeping in order with a regime of constant genetic enhancement. All Alpacapeña's animals follow a strict health regime and all new born cria are halter-trained.

• Members of the Australian Alpaca Association Inc.

• Mark is ‘ex officio’ President of the AAA NSW Southern Region and a speaker at new breeder seminars
• Successfully completed a two year alpaca-specific TAFE course (1996)
• Attendance at AAA Conferences, regional seminars and National Show and Sales since joining the industry
• Our other enterprise, Garner Graphics, produces the AAA's National Magazine, (Alpacas Australia) amongst other publications
