Dockendorf homestead raising unique animals

EUGENE – On a short drive up Dillard Road on a big farm between Creswell and Eugene, alpacas are aplenty. Ann and Mike Dockendorf have been operating their alpaca farm at 33005 Dillard Rd. since 2007.

Aragon Alpacas, complete with a classic red barn and the Dockendorf’s renovated 1800s farmhouse, has 12 wool-producing alpacas and one closely related cousin, Sunny the llama. During the farm’s peak in 2015-16, it had 52 of the fluffy animals.
