Linda is originally from Chicago, Ed is originally from California but they have happily settled into their adopted state of Utah. They enjoy entertaining their grandkids, and maintaining the beautiful place known as Blue Moon Ranch. Linda’s passion is alpacas and Ed has fun driving the tractor. 🙂

Blue Moon Ranch is a full-time job for Linda and Ed is now helping out as he retired in 2021.

Our only hired employees are our guardian dogs. We do all chores, marketing, web design and snow removal ourselves and are grateful for a handful of wonderful volunteers who show up at our events.

Although we do have different last names we have been happily married since 1989.
