John Franchi is a morning anchor and reporter for 'Good Day Utah' on FOX 13 News.
It isn't the first animal that comes to mind of those that roam the Mountain West, as these members of the camel family are usually found in South America.
But they can also be found in the rolling hills of Evanston, a few feet away from Wyoming State Highway 89 on the Amare Farm, where alpacas rule.Angwin began raising the animals in 2010, and at one point, had 20 alpacas in the herd. But when her husband was diagnosed with cancer, she sold all but two so that she could help care for him.
Angwin’s husband lost his battle with cancer in 2018, but she found comfort and healing by adding more alpacas to the herd.In addition to the emotional benefits they provide, their alpaca fiber is spun into yarn that Angwin uses to weave scarves and beanies, along with all things alpaca in a small store adjacent to the farm.Proving that nothing the animals produce goes to waste, the store also sells droppings from the alpacas.
Those interested in scheduling a free tour to meet the alpacas or visit the store can contact Angwin at [email protected].
