Ed and Juvonda Jones were an ordinary couple who really enjoyed doing anything artistic. The couple was trying to find something new so they decided to start spinning. The Jones’ did a lot of research and realized they could use alpaca wool. At first Ed didn’t want to have an alpaca farm, but as he continued learning about alpacas and spinning, he soon agreed to start the farm. They decided to buy alpacas and start spinning in September of 2008.

At the alpaca farm, there are about 14 alpacas. Martha Burriss has been spinning for 5 to 6 years. Cherri Reeves has been spinning for 4 years and Dina Woodard has been spinning for 7 years. “We might be the only ones who will be able to give you yarn in an apocalypse when you need it,” jokingly said Martha Durris. Ed and Juvonda have had 31 alpacas historically and 13 of them had been born on the farm.

Ed and Juvonda built their farm in the country. They have the Amish  help work on their farm by putting up fences as soon as the ground thawed.

The Jones family loves their farm so much and believes that others would love it just as much if they just educate others on alpacas and their benefits.  Every second Saturday of the month they let others learn about alpacas and join in the fun by participating in spinning classes. There are normally 3-8 women and men who come and spin. Everyone who has attended a class has said spinning is very easy and most pick it up fairly quickly.
