About us...

Indian Summer Alpacas believes in quality alpacas. Our Breeding program has been designed to emphasize quality of fiber, conformation, purity of color and temperament. We give special emphasis to an alpacas quality of health and consistency in production of superior progeny.

At Indian Summer Alpacas, we constantly strive to improve the alpaca through meticulous selection & breeding practices. Our herd represents no specific country of origin. It simply represents what we feel are some of the finest quality alpacas available. Our Foundation herd has been carefully selected from several of the top breeding farms across the country. We buy from large and small farms alike. We scout alpacas where we feel quality will be found.

Our goal is simple, to breed the best Alpaca possible. We know our alpacas come from and generate some of the highest quality possible. We're very proud of our alpacas. We participate in just about every Alpaca show we can. Several of our alpacas have been in front of 4-6 different judges who are both Nationally and Internationally known in the alpaca industry. The Herdsires on our farm, as an example, have been in front of roughly 6 judges each. All our Herdsires have received multiple Blue Ribbons and even Championships. We do feel our show ring results help serve as a guide to the quality we consistently produce here on our farm. So far we feel we're meeting our goal of breeding the best alpaca possible.

"If you recognize the name "Romanik" or "Indian Summer Alpacas" you must be doing something right!

Floyd and Ana Romanik are a living model of the old adage "You reap what you sow". Indian Summer Alpacas' mammoth list of show awards, superior breeding program and the Romanik's accolades, come as no surprise when you take a look at their dedicated involvement in the industry. One of the farms slogans is "Breeders of Award Winning Huacaya & Suri Alpacas". All one has to do is glance at their wall of Ribbons to know this is true. Their success is due to dedication and hard work coupled with a genuine enthusiasm and adoration for the Alpaca and the industry.

Very early on, Ana and Floyd recognized that immersing themselves in all aspects of the industry could only launch their alpaca business in one direction - success. From holding the ranks of AOBA National Conference Chair in 2000 & Co-chair in 1999 to the less glamorous, but very important former President of NEAOBA (New England Alpaca Assn) they have wisely put themselves in the "thick" of things. There is a lesson to be learned in volunteerism." Ocean State Agriculture 1/02; Alpaca Nation 11/01

Prior to alpacas, Floyd and I had never been in the livestock business. If you told us 6 years ago we would be living on a farm and raising alpacas we would have wondered what you were drinking. But, here we are sitting on our farm. We’re also sitting on what is still the ground floor of a industry that has been growing exponentially since the first alpacas came to the this country in 1985.

From our beginnings we have been heavily involved in this industry through volunteerism in local as well as national alpaca organizations. We found that this was the best way for us to learn what it takes to succeed. Today, I’m the primary person involved with the day-to-day farm operation. However, my husband, Floyd is very involved as well. In addition to his “Day Job” designing submarines as a principal engineer with General Dynamics, Floyd handles the pasture management on the farm and the financial end of our alpaca business. I have a background in Sales & Marketing, along with a long history of dog breeding. I handle the husbandry of 70+ alpacas along with Marketing and Business Management of the overall farm. My chief project currently is to finish my Alpaca Judge Training. I should become an AOBA Certified Alpaca Judge sometime in 2002. Both Floyd and I continue with our volunteer projects within the industry.

All the hard work seems to have has paid off. In a relatively short amount of time, we’ve been blessed to be able to turn Indian Summer Alpacas into a strong and thriving business. We operate a full service farm with breeding and boarding services in addition to the Sale of Show Quality Breeding Stock.

If you ask our customers, they would say the reason they purchased from us was our commitment to them. We firmly believe that our customer’s success is our success. Our dedication to customer support and continuing education is key to the health of their animals and their business. We work as a team with each and every one of our customers.

Please feel free to call with questions & visit the farm. Our door is always open!

Sincerely,
Floyd & Ana Romanik
