Cape Newagen Alpacas

Cape Newagen Alpacas are alpacas in Southport, ME, serving Lincoln County and the Maine coast near Portland. Anne Gobes and Michael Ciccarelli have developed their herd with a focus on health screening and genetic diversity, following local veterinary guidelines. They began breeding alpacas over a decade ago, prioritizing careful record-keeping and herd health.

Their alpacas graze on rotational pasture and spend each day interacting with caretakers to encourage gentle temperaments and strong herd bonds. The farm’s coastal setting offers a serene environment where fiber is shorn in spring and dried under open-air barn rafters. Their fine-grade fleeces are processed on-site and attract attention from local weavers and knitters.

Visitors note the welcoming atmosphere and the farm’s commitment to sustainable practices such as manure composting and natural forage rotation. This combination of thoughtful husbandry and community-oriented farming has earned praise from regional fiber enthusiasts.
