Double D Alpaca

Double D Alpaca raises alpacas in Touchet, WA, in Southeastern Washington near Walla Walla. It maintains membership in the Alpaca Owners Association and performs routine health checks, vaccinations, and fleece evaluations with certified judges. Its herd grazes on open pasture with daily handling to promote calm temperaments and gentle social bonds, and breeding focuses on vitality and structural soundness guided by fiber density metrics.

The farm occupies a former grain trickle irrigation site adapted for rotational grazing and on-farm fiber demonstrations. Donna Anderson and David Carney draw on years of alpaca care to offer workshops on fleece preparation and animal handling. Visitors appreciate the hands-on time with animals and insights into sustainable fiber practices. It hosts seasonal open houses where community members learn about spinning, dyeing, and fleece grading. Its approach balances time-honored husbandry with community engagement to support animal welfare and local fiber arts.
