Shardick Suri Farm

Shardick Suri Farm breeds alpacas in Jonestown, PA, Lebanon County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. Sharon and Richard Musser have been raising suri alpacas for over a decade as members of the Alpaca Owners Association, carrying out routine health screenings, fleece quality assessments, and parasite management. Their herd enjoys daily pasture turnout across rolling fields and close social interaction under custom shelters that support natural behaviors. What began as a small family hobby now sustains a diverse herd appreciated for gentle temperaments and high-quality fiber.

For fiber enthusiasts, annual shearing events and workshops illustrate the journey from fleece to yarn, with many fleeces earning recognition at local fairs. The farm’s hands-on approach ensures each alpaca receives individual care, whether grazing on managed pasture or in heated winter shelters. Visitors often comment on the relaxed herd dynamics and the farm’s warm, educational atmosphere.
