Nestled just 45 minutes from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, Eagle Eye Farm is more than just a farm - it's a destination of joy, learning, and unique experiences. From its humble beginnings to becoming a beacon for agritourism, the farm's story is as rich and diverse as the animals that call it home.
The Birth of Eagle Eye Farm
In 2016, Kerri and her wife decided to trade their fast-paced lives in St. Louis for the serene beauty of Duluth, Minnesota. Both having careers in healthcare, their lives were routine and often devoid of laughter. Seeking a change, they moved to a remote property 27 miles outside Duluth, embracing a new lifestyle.
Initially, the couple's adventure began with sled dogs, but soon their focus shifted. In 2018, a visit to an alpaca farm sparked an unexpected passion. They fell in love with a four-day-old alpaca named Matteo, and their alpaca journey began. Understanding that alpacas thrive in herds, they quickly expanded their farm - starting with three alpacas and growing to six within months. The rapid expansion didn't stop there; Eagle Eye Farm soon became home to 20 alpacas.
Building a Dream
By 2019, the farm relocated closer to the Twin Cities, settling on an 11-acre property ideal for their growing vision. Today, Eagle Eye Farm is home to over 60 alpacas, pigs, chickens, a charming llama, mini Highland cattle, Kune Kune pigs, Valais Blacknose sheep (hailed as the world's cutest sheep), English Angora bunnies, tiny goats, porcupines, and most recently, even kangaroos.
Dawn and Kerri's hard work transformed the farm into a recognized name, with their alpacas achieving accolades such as the number one farm of its size in 2022, 2023, and 2024 by the Alpaca Owner’s Association. Despite Dawn's unexpected passing in 2023, Kerri continues to carry forward their shared dream, infusing her unique vision into every corner of the farm.
More Than a Farm: A Destination for All
Eagle Eye Farm is more than just a sanctuary for animals; it's a hub for agritourism and community engagement. The farm offers:
-
Farm Tours: Visitors can explore the grounds, meet the animals, and learn about the care and dedication that goes into running a farm.

Additionally, Eagle Eye Farm's on-site store, All Things Sheared, offers a wide range of alpaca products, beeswax candles, honey, and all natural skincare. In 2024, All Things Sheared opened a second location in Stillwater, Minnesota, which also offers a variety of fresh juices, smoothies, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, thanks to Kerri's entrepreneurial daughter, Berkli, and her business, "Freshness in a Bottle."
A Vision for the Future
Kerri envisions Eagle Eye Farm as a premier agritourism destination, expanding its offerings while maintaining its commitment to animal welfare and community. From downsizing some alpacas to make room for new animal additions to sharing educational content on social media, her passion for the farm's mission shines through.
Family at the Heart
Kerri's children play an integral role in her life. Tucker, a high school kicker/punter with aspirations of playing college football at an prestigious academic institution, and her daughter, a competitive swimmer and budding entrepreneur, bring vibrant energy to the family dynamic.
