Moonacre Farm

Moonacre Farm alpaca, Huntington, Vermont, is located in the Champlain Valley near Burlington. Owner Karen Shaw brings a background in small-scale livestock care and follows established breeding standards with regular health screenings and genetic testing. Its alpacas graze on rotational pastures, benefiting from seasonal forage, and are socialized from birth to foster calm temperaments and ease of handling.

The farm maintains a farm-to-textile approach, processing fleece on-site for custom yarn production and local artisans. A focus on balanced conformation and fleece density is developed through selective pairings and detailed record keeping. Moonacre Farm participates in the Alpaca Owners Association and adheres to its guidelines for herd health management and breeding ethics. Rolling fields and a dedicated shearing barn ensure year-round comfort and consistent fleece preparation before shows. Annual regional fleece show ribbons recognize the farm’s commitment to consistent fleece quality and animal well-being.
