The Ultimate Alpaca Experience
TerBest Alpaca and Fiber Farm was established in 2014
The TerBest story starts with our 71 alpacas and the fiber that these wonderful alpacas produce for us each year. We harvest approximately 500 pounds of 100% natural fiber a year from our own healthy animals here in Priest River, Idaho. We teach and support 4-H kids in both Alpaca as livestock and Handworks from our Heritage. Our farm enjoys watching and teaching visitors about alpacas and the special bond they bring to each and every one that visit.
I enjoyed visiting this farm very much. The owners took the time to walk me through all their livestock and farm (safely for COVID), and I enjoyed interacting with them and the animals. They explained to me the various programs that they participate in, and it seems they give back quite a bit to the community and younger generation. I enjoyed feeding the alpacas and meeting all the critters. Their alpaca wool products store was very diverse as well, more so than others I've visited.Thanks for letting me visit your place.
Excellent place to go for a visit and worth the trip. The owners David and Jerilynn are excellent hosts. The whole tour took about 30-40 mins. We were escorted by David around the farm. He guided us through various pastures where we were able to pet and feed the animals. Unfortunately we were not able to play with the baby Alpacas, due to covid restrictions. But hopefully next year we can get to pet the little ones. Did I mention that the tour was free. The owners were also very informative and excited to teach and tell others about alpaca farming and the work they do. They also have a small shop that carries various alpaca fiber (the fur)garments. Some are imported (fair trade of course) and they also make some garments from their own stock. Awesome experience and we were delighted to get to spend some time with them. Did I mention the tour, petting and feeding the alpacas was free (even the food). Definitely make sure you make this a stop on your list when visiting the area.
Awesome couple hosted a visit from us. So informational, friendly and considerate. The alpacas are lovely friendly creatures. We even got to see babies barely a day old! My three- and four-year-old were delighted. The little shop has beautiful (if somewhat pricey) merchandise. We just had to bring a few things home. Thanks again!!
The owners are super friendly and kind people who are more than happy to show you the farm and explain all of the operations that are taking place. The gift shop has a nice variety of items that are of excellent quality, many of which are handmade. The fiber is beautiful and and lovely to work with (I crochet). Jerilin and her weavers are top notch!
We had the best time! Owners took us on an educational tour. Very nice owners and facility. A must do when you are in this area. We bought an Alpaca throw which feels so much softer than the one we got from a well known brand.
