Welcome to C & M Acres
Raising Huacaya & Suri Alpacas in the Midwest
We will be open from noon-4pm on both Saturday and Sunday, Dec 10th and 11th. Please come see our farm store and then animals!
Welcome to C&M Acres. Come see us and our animals.
C & M Acres is a 20+ acre alpaca farm that is owned and operated by Christian and Michelle Davies. While our farm is located in central Iowa close the main I-35 and I-80 interstate corridors crossing the state, we appreciate a very rural setting. We invite you to take a peek at the lifestyle that is working and living with alpacas.
Our intent is to raise quality, healthy animals. Our view is that anyone coming to our farm or website should be able to find out everything we know about the animals. We want to help educate new and interested people on what alpacas are, what they can do, and what it takes to raise them. We are working with the fiber ourselves so we can show people the complete cycle from animal to fleece. As accountants, we can also help people with the financial aspect and business plans. We believe in sharing our knowledge so that others can avoid pitfalls we may have made but also get ahead in the learning curve that much faster.
We have a separate quarantine barn for all new arrivals. We are a BVD free farm.
Come see us and our animals.
