Sierra Rose Alpacas

Sierra Rose Alpacas alpacas in Grass Valley, CA, are nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills near Sacramento. Howard and Cynthia Kuhlmann maintain alpaca stocks registered with the Alpaca Owners Association and follow regular health screenings, vaccinations, and genetic evaluations. Their pastures spread across rolling meadows with forested backdrops, offering open grazing areas and sheltered paddocks for climate comfort. Young alpacas receive daily socialization through supervised interactions, early halter training, and seasonal farm visits.

The farm emphasizes sustainable grazing practices and natural fiber handling techniques to preserve land health and fiber quality. Visitors often comment on the herd’s gentle nature, well-maintained barns, and the informative farm tours offered each spring and fall. On-site workshops cover basic fiber processing and weaving, providing hands-on experience with freshly shorn fleece. The farm offers animals across a range of fleece colors and fiber grades, suitable for both experienced breeders and newcomers interested in artisanal fiber crafts.
