Welcome to the Fiori del Campo Suri Alpacas homepage! Fiori del Campo is a leader in this area of the country in the promotion of American Suri fleece through our fiber sorting and grading program, our fiber arts, and our commitment and involvement in the growth of the North American Suri alpaca fiber industry; we hope is to remain on the forefront of our growing textile industry and our 7 to 10 year business plan involves tremendous (and ambitious!) growth.

.

Our 7 year plan includes the purchase of farm land to support a thriving fiber herd, and hopefully our mill and design studios. Rather than breeding for color or a certain genetic line (e.g., Accoyo), our breeding decisions are based upon fiber characteristics and the data from the Certified SortedTM system of fiber grading and analysis. Though we would be pleased to produce champions in the show ring, and are proud of our past, current and future success there, our focus is the production of Suri alpacas with optimally usable (and therefore highly profitable) fleece for high-end commercial production.

.

Currently, our fiber arts center features instruction in a myriad of fiber arts in addition to artisan workspace where we design and produce fashions and fiber arts supplies made with 100% “Green” American grown Alpaca fleece. Our center also houses our unique fiber sorting and grading operations. We are passionately devoted to the Triple Bottom Line (People, Planet, Profit) and function in a LEED certified, solar powered space within the Brazee Street Studios in Oakley (http://www.brazeestreetstudios.com/). Our products shall remain American-made using local artisans and our services and practices will follow strict LEED Standards using environmentally gentle processes.
