Miraflora sells a line of CBD products, for both human and animal consumption, from hemp grown on its 160-acre farm. Aside from the hemp plants, however, the farm also hosts a herd of alpacas that not only fertilize the soil, but have also attracted a significant number of TikTok fans.

Irish Whiskey, Burrito, Jackson Hole and Ting-Go are just some of the fuzzy friends on the farm who have achieved fame on social media under the control @alpacas_hemping.
“In any business, you have business faces … alpacas are becoming the face of Miraflora,” Brent Facchinello, co-owner and chief operating officer of Miraflora, told the Denver Post.

“It’s about making sure we have the best topsoil and the best topsoil makes some of the best crops,” Facchinello added.
According to the company’s website, hemp is fed “melted snow from the Rocky Mountain National Park and organic Alpaca Gold fertilizer from our herd of alpacas.”
The USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) certified organic farm has been family-owned and managed for over a century. After each fall harvest, hemp is converted to CBD oil and used to infuse a variety of products, from tinctures to beverages to pet treats.
While not open to the public, the Denver Post notes that sometimes the herd can be spotted by hikers and runners visiting nearby Haystack Mountain.
The 10 alpacas on the farm each have their own biography at the Miraflora site, including Ting-Go, which is described as the “loose cannon” of the herd.
Born in 2017, Ting-Go “once ate a farmer’s boot just to show mastery. He became very ill and the farmer had to take him to the big animal vet, but Ting-Go he has the feeling that he made his point.
