We proudly support the alpaca industry by being active members of the following alpaca organizations: the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association (AOBA), the Southeastern Alpaca Association (SeAA), the North American Alpaca Federation (NAAF), the Alpaca Registry, Inc. (ARI), the North American Alpaca Fiber Producers Coop (NAAFP), and the Ideal Alpaca Community (IAC).

Our mission at Little Hummers Alpaca Farm is to produce alpacas of exceptional fiber quality and conformation. We help maintain a gentle disposition by treating our alpacas with respect using the CameliDYNAMICS philosophy when dealing with them on a day-to-day basis. We will continue to promote the alpaca industry and support others who wish to become involved with the alpaca lifestyle.

Our values represent the old-South, timeless values of integrity, honesty and hard work. We still believe a person's word is a bond, and a handshake is a contract that can be depended upon, and means more than any written document. We strive to make each and every customer a friend for life and will provide the support needed to help make the alpaca experience pleasing for those friends.

Our breeding philosophy is to start with the very best breeding stock to produce exceptional crias. We discovered early on that the quality of the foundation females plays a vital roll in any successful breeding program. The female contributes one-half of the genes that are passed on to the cria. We continually breed our females to outstanding males throughout the country to improve fleece, confirmation and temperment in our crias. We are committed to producing the highest quality alpacas and improving fleece quality with every new generation. In early 2007, we invested heavily in outstanding females for our breeding program. We have bred up to outstanding males, such as "McGwire", "SCA Peruvian Magnum" (Winner, 2007 AFCNA Spirit of Fiber Award), "MFI Peruvian Earthshaker" and "Hemingway's Great White" to improve our alpaca genetics. We are members of the "Ideal Alpaca Community", which is a group of like minded breeders whose collective purpose is to raise genetically superior alpacas that produce higher volumes of the finest quality fleece. We share the belief that it is through the use of high quality males and their progeny that the genetic improvement of our individual herds will be assured. We pledge to continue this breeding philosophy for the betterment of the alpaca future.

Our experience in the alpaca business officially began in early 2004. However, before purchasing our animals, both Shelia and Greg attended several alpaca "how-to" classes in preparation for this adventure. We made numerous farm visits to other farms, taking in all the information we could digest about how those other farms ran their businesses. From each farm visit, we dropped the bad points and added the good points to our own farm design. After preparing for the eventual purchase of alpacas for over three years, we have finally constructed fences, are building a new barn and now have our alpacas at "home".

The Southeastern Camelid University® has now become a reality and is the vehicle we will use to put our alpaca training and experience to work by presenting alpaca seminars for others that might be interested in the alpaca lifestyle. These seminars will be presented by us here at Little Hummers Alpaca Farm as well as by specialists in various areas of the alpaca industry. Once a seminar is scheduled, it will be announced on the web site so click here to see the seminars we currently have scheduled...

About us. Both Greg and Shelia grew up in southeast Alabama and that is where Little Hummers Alpaca Farm is located. We both attended Auburn University, where we met and were later married. Both worked for Auburn University for a number of years afterwards. Greg is a computer programmer with over 35 years of experience, the last 18 of which was spent as a Government Contractor developing internal web sites for NASA. In early 2000, he retired from the computer industry and shortly thereafter discovered the alpaca lifestyle. After attending their first alpaca show, the stage was set for the development of Little Hummers Alpaca Farm. Greg uses his computer experience in the development of the web site for Little Hummers Alpacas as well as processing the day-to-day farm activities using AlpacaEASE, an alpaca-specific computerized herd management and financial management software package. Shelia is an accountant with over 30 years of experience and has recently retired from that endeavor. She is an Apprentice Sorter/Grader, certified to use the North American Alpaca Fiber Producers (NAAFP) Certified Sorted™ System. Please give Shelia a call at (256) 683-2079 to discuss having her grade your alpaca fleece to maximize your fleece harvest profit.

Farm visits by appointment are always welcomed. We love to talk to individuals or groups that are interested in the alpaca business or simply interested in seeing our alpacas. However, please call or email us to make sure we will be available to show you around on your anticipated visit date. We want to make sure nobody misses an opportunity to see these lovable little animals, so the farm is open to the public each day and there is never any charge associated with a farm visit. Come share the experience!!!
