Alpaca News & Events
Zarza has a new home in Umbria!
In January 2012 Zarza opened a breeding centre in Montone, Umbria. Now sharing Elisa Molinari’s wonderful Fattoria Didattica where horses, pet goats and sheep graze, honey is produced and top quality Kentucky tobacco is grown we feel we are amongst friends! See www.mielisa.it Part of the Molinari estate, home of the famous Chianina cattle, is the beautifully restored Agriturismo Acquacalda run by Elisa’s relatives Antonio and Laura Molinari who also take a keen interest in the alpaca. See www.acquacalda.it Zarza’s open days and courses can now offer terrific food and accommodation as well as the opportunity to sample the attractions of the Montone area.
Come and visit us....we are only one kilometre from the Montone exit of the E45, one junction north of Umbertide.
Call Hilary on 320 822 7068 or Elisa on 349 785 7450 to arrange your visit.

new suri owners!
The first to buy the new suris Chiara, a doctor, and her husband Francesco from Rovereto near Lake Garda, have bought three pregnant female suris as the start of a herd specialising in suri breeding. We wish them lots of luck with their new venture and look forward to welcoming them as members of Gruppo Zarza Alpaca.
Zarza Alpaca Group is founded in Italy!
The first meeting of Associates of the Zarza Alpaca Group in Italy took place in July 2011 at San Gabriel Alpacas. This is an exciting development in Italy and will enable support, education and, of course, quality alpacas to be promoted and sold.
