Peace of Thyme Alpaca Farm

Hi, My name is Christina. My husband Dan and I, moved to Missouri in June 2004 to start a new life on this farm. I'd lived in California most of my life and sadly left 3 children, 13 granchildren, 1 great grandchild and many long time good friends. Dan, who lived all over the US, but spent most of his time in California, left 2 children, one grandchild, one great grandchild, our carpet cleaning business of 28 years and many more friends. We bought a small 5 acre farm, took out all the barbed wire fence and replaced it with no-climb fence, then built a fairly good sized pond and stocked it with large mouth bass, channel catfish, red ear perch and minnows. We then partially remodeled a very old oak barn to house our alpacas and chickens. Why were we doing all that? We want to raise a small herd of alpacas, grow our own organic food, raise a flock of very rare Barnevelder chickens and live a much simpler, healthier life. We attribute our success to a faith and trust in God, who sustains us through the inevitable hard times that we share with most people and who blesses us so much more in our walk with Him. Please, take a few minutes to go through this site and if you find something you like - let us know by signing the guestbook.

6-26-2008 Update - I entered this sign in the Tri-County Fair for Arthur and he won a Blue Ribbon and some $$!  It's good to have your grandkids take an interest in what is going on here, even though they are many miles away.
