At Hideaway Wood Farm our focus is on breeding and caring for healthy, happy alpacas in a natural and respectful way.

​

We have a herd of 35 alpacas, many of which were born here on the farm and we know each of our animals individually.

​

Not only are alpacas peaceful, great fun and very calming to be around but they also help with our land management efforts and produce fantastic manure, which when sun dried and composted we give back to the land to improve our soils. We also plan on using the manure as a renewable energy source.​​

​

In terms of breeding, our focus is not on breeding for particularly desirable traits as we know the trends are always changing and that some traits can end up not being the best for the health of our alpacas. Instead we breed our animals with a focus on them being healthy, behaviourally well natured and with good conformation that will support their health and longevity.

​

In recent years we have bred from our 'grey' stud Phineas and welcomed many patchy, grey and multi cria to our herd.

​

In terms of handling, we have been moving in the direction of CameliDynamics handling and training for our whole herd.

​

And in terms of husbandry we are always seeking to incorporate more natural ways of taking care of our alpacas, removing unnecessary chemicals and supporting them through natural treatments and remedies wherever possible.

Looking to Buy Alpacas

​

Whether you are completely new to alpacas, looking to build your existing herd, seeking an animal for a specific purpose or simply curious and wanting to come and have a look to see if alpacas are for you, we're happy to give you time, answer your questions and support you in the process.

​

We know all of our animals individually and can advise in terms of temperaments, breeding, pedigree and history. Our whole herd is BAS registered and we can provide a full medical record.

​

But more than all of that, we love our animals and love to meet alpaca people.

​

Please note, alpacas are herd animals and need to live in groups of at least three. We are happy to advise on and support with alpaca keeping and provide ongoing support as part of the sales process.​​​​
