... located in the hills of New Hampshire along the lower Connecticut River Valley.  Sanctuary's Alpaca Farm is a small farm of about twenty huacaya alpacas, most of them white, a few of them fawn or brown.  We started in 2001 with three maiden alpacas and grew the herd up very slowly, pulling in genetics from well known proven lineages.  Our breeding goals are straightforward - to breed for healthy well conformed alpacas with breeding and nurturing vigor and fleece of excellent quality - fleece that is lustrous and soft handling with uniformity, crimp and fineness that lasts into older age - along with increased fleece weight, staple length and overall coverage.  Above all, we want our alpacas to live healthy and contented lives.

Our objective was to build up a herd of high end breeding stock and therefore a high end fiber herd, the two interwoven and each enhancing the other.  Nowadays that is just what we have.  Our females are sound nurturing mothers and pass along excellent traits to their offspring.  The males are a handsome lot; they grace our fields and contribute their superb fleeces to the fiber end.  Our standards for breeding are rigid, so the males that remain intact and available for stud service are outstanding.  Life on the farm - family, some housekeeping and gardening, alpacas and lots of incredible fiber - is rich!
