In 2018, she and her husband, Jason, left the suburban life of metro Detroit, sold everything they owned, and moved north to start an alpaca farm. After buying their first set of alpacas, the duo (and their son, Hunter) fell in love with this magical animal and fully jumped into the alpaca industry. Cotton Creek Farms is now an active alpaca farm that offers breedings, alpacas for sale and interactive tours; manufactures and sells alpaca goods through their online and on-site farm store; offers color genotype consulting; and provides education and mentoring to new farms and those interested in raising alpacas. Rebecca and Jason serve on association boards, participate in internal association committees, and provide education through industry shows and webinars.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Rebecca Gill \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47858835128477,"sku":"9781493092277","price":47.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_b2222653-3fb7-453e-99b3-80e6c85ffae2.jpg?v=1776861477","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/the-alpaca-handbook-the-complete-guide-to-raising-a-happy-and-healthy-herd-9781493092277","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
