Golden View Alpacas & Mini Mill is located in the Smoky Mountains of TN. Our home and farm is located just a few miles off I 40 exit 407 in Kodak, TN. We welcome visitors any time, but a call ahead assures everyone there will be someone here to greet and show you around our mill. We researched the idea of raising alpacas for about 2 years by visiting farms in the East TN area and reading what we c
ould on the internet. The more we read and visited our local farms, the more the lifestyle intrigued us. Having raised the kids and grand kids on our 7 acres, we decided our home needed something special, and we were pretty sure the Alpaca was it! We decided to try contributing our time to an established farm just an hour drive away. Sherry and Bill Watkins of Frostglen Alpacas were kind enough to mentor us to this new and exciting lifestyle. That was 10 years ago. The only thing we could have revised was to make the decision to raise alpacas sooner. After raising 25 alpacas over the last 18 years, we have rehomed all of our alpacas to a wounded warrior project in Tennessee. Now we have added to the farm by investing in our Belfast Mini Mill. We have a tumbler, washer, picker and small carder as well as a draw frame, bump winder, and rug yarn maker. We also love our wet felter. Give us a call and schedule your fiber processing any time between 7am and 7pm. You will need to leave a message as we are either on the farm or running the mill. Come, relax and enjoy.
