Welcome to Ridge Valley Alpacas, LLC

RIDGE VALLEY ALPACAS, LLC welcomes you to visit our farm in the southern Shenandoah Valley. The farm is located on a hillside between the Blue Ridge and the Allegheny mountains, 2 1/2 miles West off exit 200 on Interstate 81/64. We are centrally located about an hour from Roanoke, Charlottesville and Harrisonburg, Virginia. At an altitude of almost 1,900 feet, we have beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and the rolling valleys.

We are a family owned and operated farm and we started with our first four alpacas in 2010. Currently, we have a herd of approximately 40 alpacas. Our goal is to breed alpacas that have fine, uniform, and dense fleeces that exhibit a beautiful handle and consistency. We have built our herd with award winning females and males from experienced breeders throughout the country.

Our commitment to the alpaca industry is to operate our business professionally and ethically and to actively promote the combination of high quality breeding and fiber product development. Breeding decisions are based on defined fleece improvement goals coupled with an honest assessment of genetic strengths and weaknesses of each animal in the herd.

In 2018, we opened our alpaca clothing boutique, AbellaPaca Boutique. Most of our products, including alpaca socks, hats, gloves, mittens, scarves, dryer balls, etc., are produced from the fiber of the alpacas on the farm. The boutique also offers some of the finest Peruvian alpaca imports of sweaters, shawls, coats, vests, ruanas, etc., as well as a broad selection of alpaca yarn.

We offer farm tours with the opportunity to learn about alpacas and their fiber. We love sharing our experience and knowledge of alpacas with all our guests and mentoring new breeders.
