Long Acres Alpaca Farm is located in south central PA, twenty minutes from I-81 and I-70. We purchased our 130 acre farm in 2002. It is set against the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains, providing a breathtaking vista to showcase our huacaya alpacas.

In 2005, we purchased our first alpacas, several bred females and one male cria who would later become our "ambassador alpaca."  The following year saw our purchase of our first Champion Herdsire  In 2007, we enjoyed our first group of crias that were the result of our breeding decisions.  We began showing those crias the following year and were successful at our first "home grown" Champion.  We continued that success into 2008.  In 2009, we began to see the results from establishing our breeding program and numerous decisions and management changes we've made along the way.  We've been most pleased with the consistency within our program as evidenced by our show placements and fiber analysis and fiber weights. 

 Breeding Best Quality Females to Elite Males came about out of our desire to strive for the highest quality alpacas in terms of show winnings and fleece analysis.  To that end, we currently manage a herd that includes:

 80% of all mature females are ribbon winners

 35% of all mature females are Halter Champions

 100% of our Herdsires are Champions or have produced Halter Champions

 2010 shearing as a group have an average micron diameter (AFD) of 22.5 of all alpacas!

In the Fall 2010 Show Season, Long Acres Alpaca Farm received 21 Banners!

 We hope to further advance our herd in the years to come and invite you to visit our farm and see for yourself the results of our efforts.  Our alpacas come from outstanding lineages, including Vengador, Dom Lucilio, Hemmingway, Felix, Pluro’s Ross, Bueno, Shades of Grey, and Macusani.  We have been able to apply our medical backgrounds in caring for these wondrous animals and are equally committed to providing our customers with personalized service and continued support.
