In the late 1980's, Ed and Charlene
Friedman bought a 175-acre dairy farm near State College, Pennsylvania.
For a number of years they tried to find a good use for all of their
acreage. |
|
Finally, after reading an article on alpacas and visiting a farm, they
were hooked. "After one visit to a breeder, we
knew alpacas were perfect for us." |
|
Today, Ed and Charlene have one of the premier alpaca breeding
facilities in the United States. After viewing this web site, we're sure
that you too will agree that if you are considering the purchase of
alpacas or are in need of breeding services, a visit to Mountain
Edge is the right choice. |

the barn near the house, because alpacas are so much a part of our life.

The West Barn - over 12,000 square feet. "We remodeled the old,
original dairy barn last year so that we could expand our herd.
|
" We chose to purchase our alpacas from
Mountain Edge located in Central Pennsylvania even though we
live in Colorado. The services and support Ed and Charlene gave us
was far beyond what we expected and their copyrighted “Alpaca
University” program got us started in the right direction and made
us feel comfortable in our new venture. If you consider all the
extras Ed and Charlene give (FOR FREE) and the quality and selection
of their alpacas, Mountain Edge offers the best value
anywhere. " –Brenda
