Special Event / Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

Deseret Peaks Aquaponics and Alpaca Ranch

Look forward to seeing baby alpacas and our home- grown goods while enjoying a lovely trip to the country. Our ranch is a ma/pa operation. We sell our produce at local farmers markets and to a CSA. The fiber from the alpacas' coats is felted into fabric or spun into yarn to make beautiful clothing or accessories. With our felting machine, we can process alpaca fiber into felted sheets. We also make hats, boots, slippers, scarves and more. As growers, we were challenged by the very alkaline and rocky soil found in Tooele County. With a determination to provide good quality food for ourselves and for others, we built two aquaponic greenhouses in Grantsville, Utah. Now, we sell produce year-round. .Enjoy our winter greens (kale, salad greens, arugula, bok choy, swiss chard, et cetera) during the off season, or delicious vegetables during farm season (radishes, peas, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, and summer squash).
