Pleasant Hill Alpaca Farm

So it’s finals week. Breaking from studying for my (last ever) finals and editing my independent study, I’m bringing you a video produced last spring quarter here at OU for a video class. This was a collaboration with another photojournalism student, Simon Brubaker. The edit from my independent study covering the election is coming soon. Enjoy.

Keith Kittle owns Pleasant Hill Alpaca Farm with his wife, Katherine. The farm is located in the rolling hills of Athens County, Ohio; 75 miles southeast of Columbus; 45 minutes from the beautiful Hocking Hill and 45 minutes from the Ohio River. They own 10 alpacas, and harvest the animals’ fleece as a side-business.
