This book is the story of Rosana and Kelly Hart’s adventures with llamas, from the coming of Levi and Tumbleweed to the running of a day-hikes business and developing a breeding herd.

What happens as Rosana opens to deeper telepathic levels of connection with the animals, and the crisis that occurs when a dream comes true, provide the final tales in a fast-paced book that will charm and inform animal lovers.

This classic has introduced thousands of people to llamas. Facts about llamas and their care are woven into the narrative. The later part of the book also discusses Rosana’s  increasing ability to communicate telepathically with their llamas.

WHAT REVIEWERS SAID ABOUT LIVING WITH LLAMAS:

“While few may have the chance to live with llamas, many can take vicarious pleasure in following the author’s experiences, related with warmth and humor.” — American Library Association Booklist.

“A look into the warm, touching, friendly, and funny emotions of one couple’s developing relationship with llamas. Those who don’t have ‘llama fever’ can get some insight into what it is like. A must-read for anyone just getting into raising llamas.” — Llamas Magazine

AND READERS SAID:

“I cried, I laughed, I learned, and now I’m sold on llamas.”

“Received the book Friday afternoon, stayed up till 12:30 AM to finish it on Saturday morning. What more can I say?”

“Thank you for writing such a warm account of your life with llamas — I think, perhaps, if I hadn’t read it, I wouldn’t have my lovely llamas now!”

“We’ve read most of it twice — aloud to each other!”

“It is highly readable, filled with good info and very entertaining. It is really an asset to the llama world. I will refer back to it many times and will definitely offer it as a chief reference to interested people.”

“After checking out your book from the library simply to learn about how much upkeep would be involved, I immediately read it… front to back. Upon finishing, I knew I was about to embark on an adventure. Being a true city slicker prior to our move here, I look forward to having your book nearby when my “boys” arrive next spring. Thank you for the book and for starting our family on a wonderful adventure!”

“Living with Llamas is a beautiful little book, with delightful content embellished by humor.”

“Living with Llamas is so warm and real to me; I can’t tell you how much I enjoy reading and rereading all that you’ve written. I can sense your devotion and respect to an ancient and dignified animal.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed Living with Llamas. Besides the great photos, we liked the way you said what has been in our minds at one time or another but were afraid to say. We have all had hesitations and questions about our llamas but so often are afraid to admit we don’t know what we are doing. It is refreshing to see it in print.”

“Living with Llamas is a book I recommend for new llama owners. It is full of information, presented in a delightful story form.”

My husband Kelly and I raised llamas in the mountains outside of Ashland, Oregon, during the 1980s. Our herd was always small, and we also offered day hikes with our llamas for  tourists who came to Ashland for its Shakespeare Festival. This snapshot is of us during that time.

I wrote two books about llamas:

Living with Llamas: Tales from Juniper Ridge stayed in print for 25 years. Now it’s available as a free downloadable ebook, in PDF format — that link takes you to the download page. You can also read it on this website, as explained on that page.

It’s the story of our experiences with llamas. Neither one of us had any livestock experience to begin with, and it showed! We became quite telepathic with the llamas as time went by, and I wrote about that too.

Llamas for Love and Money was written during the era when there was a lot of money to be made. That heyday has passed, as indeed I said it would in the book. I later felt I should have titled the book Llamas for Love and Maybe Money. This book has been out of print for some time now.

Kelly produced a series of video programs on llamas, on llama packing, llama reproduction, a general program called Why Llamas? and more. We called our llama publishing company Juniper Ridge Press; now it’s part of our business Hartworks, Inc.

We received an International Llama Association Pushmi-Pullyu Award, for llama education.

Here is our product line from then:

As video gave way to DVD, we transferred the two most popular programs to DVD: Llama Training with Bobra Goldsmith and Training Llamas to Drive, also with Bobra. They are now available from this website and the first one is at Amazon.com.

This website is in association with Amazon.com, as there are llama books available here too.That means that If you click through on the links I provide to Amazon and other vendors, and if you make a purchase, in most case I receive compensation.

Please note that since we are all unique individuals, we cannot predict how quickly you would learn llama training from our programs.
