Max and Hedi Gossweiler emigrated from Switzerland in 1981.

After training as a chef, Max has worked and collected experience in the hotel and motel industry. He also worked for a number of years in farming in Switzerland and Canada, including owning a grain farm.

After growing up on a diversified dairy farm, Hedi's love for creative art and fashion took her through The College of Arts and Frauenarbeitschule in Switzerland. She was (besides different other occupations) and still is very strong involved in the fibre and fashion industry.
In Canada, the Gossweilers have four children and own and operate successfully the Lone Eagle Motel and Campground since 1983.

In 1997 they bought their first alpacas and the business was named Swiss Line Alpacas. Shortyly after in 1998the name Alpaca Expressions of Canada was created which presents the fashion part from the alpaca business.

Our Goal and Commitment

Giving our motel customers over the many years a first class service and relaying on repeat business is very rewarding.
We are also striving to serve our customers in the alpaca and (fibre) fashion industry the same way.

Our goal in raising alpacas is to selectively breed for fineness and conformation. To achieve this, Max and his team give the alpacas individual and professional care and attention, including organic food and mineralmix.-->More
