Leaping Deer Ranch is located in Las Vegas, New Mexico which is 75 miles east of Santa Fe. Our ranch is on 12 acres, but we are expanding to 570 acres! We will have a studio for classroom instruction and for teaching and viewing alpaca fiber art. This 2000 square foot facility will offer classes in Fiber art,An art to wear.
We will have seminars and weddings at the ranch so the public can see a working alpaca ranch and enjoy the setting that is on the Old Santa Fe trail.
It would be hard to find a better setting at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo mountains in New Mexico.
Marianne has been a quilter and award winning fiber artist for 25 years. Our dream is to create fiber art that includes alpaca fiber. Marianne loves to experiment with yarns, ribbons, and felted pieces.
This is just the very beginning for alpaca fiber. Many artists are trying roving and alpaca FIBER is the next fiber to make it big.
