One Prescott Valley woman decided to start an alpaca farm eight years ago and bought one animal. Today, Wendy Dittbrenner is turning a profit on her 10-acre farm. This weekend, the Peaceful Prairie Ranch, with its 28 mild-tempered animals, invites the public to celebrate Alpaca Farm Day with a free tour, spinning and weaving demonstrations, and the opportunity to mix it up with Shock Wave, Bolero, Starlight, and their friends.
