We have been in the alpaca business for 21 years. As a child, Kimberly grew up on a horse farm. It didn't take long after her sister, Julie Bodette Verhelst (Sunny Meade Alpacas) bought her first alpacas in 1998, that Kimberly wanted one for her very own. Soon after, Alpacas of the Covenant, Inc. was formed. (My recently deceased husband and I are retired Presbyterian ministers, hence the name.) Our herd has consisted of some of the top national alpaca bloodlines from top breeders...Snowmass Peruvian Casanova, El Nino's Accoyo Michelangelo, IncaAccoyo Star, CPeruvian Jaxon, Peruvian Magnum, Accoyo Express, and PPervian Camilio.
In addition to being alpaca breeders, Kimberly and her sister Julie Bodette Verhelst formed All Things Alpaca, LLC in 2009. (The business is located in northern Kentucky, outside of Cincinnati. The alpacas live on Julie's farm, Sunny Meade Alpacas, Ltd. in northwestern Ohio.) Kimberly and Julie are the creators and distributors of the Alpaca Fleece-filled Bird Nesting Ballâ„¢ (PATENTED in 2016 and registered trademarked in 2013). The nesting ball is a 4" diameter grapevine ball handcrafted with alpaca fiber for wild birds. Sold throughout the US and in Canada.
