‘PacaHat operates at Silver Spur Ranch in Tabernash, Colorado.
Back in September of 2022, Deb and Mike Culig had the opportunity to sit down with Keep It Colorado, in partnership with Colorado Headwaters Land Trust to discuss how they came to acquire Silver Spur Ranch, how they decided to settle down in Grand County, and how Deb started ‘PacaHat.
The article details the journey of Deb and Mike Culig, who became full-time residents in Grand County, Colorado, after purchasing land with a conservation easement. They transitioned into alpaca ranching and hay farming to maintain the agricultural nature of their land. The Culigs focus on regenerative agriculture, partnering with a cattle rancher to manage vegetation and improve soil health. They produce high-quality hay and custom alpaca fleece hats while preserving the land’s ecological integrity. Their partnership with Colorado Headwaters Land Trust supports sustainable conservation efforts in the Fraser Valley.
