Rebecca Gill

Rebecca is an alpaca farmer who lives on just outside of Traverse City, Michigan. She and her husband Jason left the suburban life of metro Detroit, sold everything they owned, and moved north to start an alpaca farm in 2018. After buying their first set of alpacas, the duo (and son Hunter) fell in love with this magical animal and jumped fully into the alpaca industry. Cotton Creek Farms is now an active alpaca farm that offers breedings, alpacas for sale, interactive tours, an onsite farm store, genotyping consulting, as well as, education and mentoring to new farms and those interested in raising alpacas.
