Alan and Chrissy Householder
Llama Farm Management and Wrangling
The Householders reside in Sevierville, TN.
Alan has been with LeConte Lodge since 2002, and Chrissy since 2011. That's a combined 25 years of experience wrangling Llamas, with brief stints as crew as well!
We are grateful for the hard work and dedication of the Householders, and especially our four-legged Llama friends transporting supplies multiple times every week during the season. That handsome guy in the middle is Clifford Cliff Tops, a wrangler favorite!
