State of Jefferson Alpaca Association

In late 1999 a few alpaca breeders located in Southern Oregon began discussing the possibility of organizing as a group in order to better promote alpacas in the region. By 2000, approximately a dozen alpaca owners gathered in Grants Pass, Oregon, and shortly thereafter SOJAA was born.

Since that first small group met in Grants Pass, SOJAA membership has grown to nearly 50 alpaca farms.

Alpaca Sales

"Manufactures from their hair more resemble silk than woolen stuffs, and some of those made of the Alpaca fleece, are quite black, without having been dyed. It has been a matter of surprise to many, that they are not naturalized in this country, as the climate would not be an obstacle to success. The demand, however, for their produce so much, increases, that it is very probable they may at some future time become denizens of our mountainous districts..."
