Thank you for visiting Carondelet Ridge Alpacas and Fiber Services.  Located in Manassas, Virginia, we are a small fiber-producing farm, with alpacas known in the industry as a Fiber Herd. 

What makes us unique?

• All of our alpacas are male. Be sure to click on Our Farm to meet our alpacas and our guard llama, Stretch.
• Our alpaca boys are shorn once yearly and produce the most wonderfully soft fleece for making into batts, roving, felt, yarn, and finished products.
• We are not only an alpaca farm – we run a small production nursery called NatureScapes Wildlife Gardens specializing in plants native to Virginia.

Here at Carondelet Ridge we also process fleece for other local alpaca farms!
Do you have alpaca or llama fleeces you would like to turn into something you can sell in your farm store?  Visit our Products and Services page to see picture samples of yarn and finished products as well as prices for show skirting and mill preparation services.

Are you interested in creating a peaceful lifestyle with alpacas of your very own? Contact Us for referrals to some of our wonderful friends with quality alpacas for sale. 

We first became interested in alpacas because they are easy to care for, friendly, and gentle on the land.  The whole concept fit perfectly with our Earth Friendly philosophy.  We practice integrated pest management and incorporate alpaca poo into our compost (grows the best tomatoes you have ever tasted!).  Birds, bats, toads, frogs, and a resident box turtle assist in the balancing act.  Parasitic wasps and good clean-up practices keep the fly population to a minimum.  We are even designated as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.  Our alpaca business has grown into a rewarding, satisfying lifestyle.
