GREENWOOD

Welcome to the web site of GREENWOOD Alpaca Stud which is owned by Mena Schnizler.

Since inception 17 years ago ( Oh where has that time gone ?) the breeding goal has always been to run a small herd, or boutique if you wish, specializing in GREY & BLACK.

The reasoning behind "keeping it small" is to prove that one can make a very fine living from alpacas .

Greenwood is always pro-active with the focus on enhancing breeding females to improve, or "tweek" colour consistancy & predictability, fleece micron reduction whilst improving weight of fleece through careful selection of genetically superior males. This enables us to consistently achieve a quality alpaca...sometimes not Grey or Black... but  a pleasing result of quality improvement with each new generation.

Greenwood is a current member of the Australian Alpaca Association and is located in the Victorian Eastern Region.

Greenwood farm at Dixons Creek is currently non assessed .  The PIC numbers is 3YRHP 150.

Greenwood is happy to support other breeders by re-stocking with other farms alpacas hence you will always find different prefixes within our herd and not to many with our own prefix ( as they sell !) .

Dixons Creek, about 50k's NE of Melbourne in the beautiful - and at present very wet - Yarra Valley.  A haven for the tourist so well worth the visit to this area.

My love for these beautiful and intelligent animals never leaves me and as a business I haven't found anything I would love to do more....except be a "ski bunny"
