Turlock, California
A fiber-centered ranch where alpaca and llama fleece becomes yarn, felted goods, dryer balls, rug yarn, classes, and hands-on community events.
Official farm websiteA small ranch with a material focus
Macedo's Mini Acre continues to care for its alpacas and llamas while concentrating its public work on fiber, finished products, classes, and scheduled ranch events. The Turlock operation gives customers several ways to follow fleece beyond the animals that produced it.
Its active website combines online ordering with appointment-only store visits and class information. Within the directory of California alpaca farms, that makes Macedo's especially useful for people interested in the practical and creative paths taken by alpaca fiber.
Using the fleece
The farm sells yarn, roving, batts, fleece, felted pieces, rugs, dryer balls, and finished wearables. These products use different portions and preparations of fiber rather than expecting every fleece to become the same type of yarn or garment.
Macedo's also accepts suitable customer fiber for selected processing orders. Its current service information covers dryer balls made from Huacaya fiber and core-spun rug yarn made from Huacaya, Suri, or llama fiber, with cleanliness and minimum-length requirements stated before fiber is submitted.
Learning and visiting
Class subjects include skirting and preparing a fleece for a mill, show, or personal project; individual spinning instruction; dyeing; and small-group felting activities. Format, materials, group size, and scheduling depend on the class.
The farm participates in fiber events and schedules ranch occasions such as National Alpaca Farm Days. Current announcements determine whether an event includes animal visits, demonstrations, shopping, classes, or another activity.
Ranch and store visits are by appointment. Hot Central Valley weather can limit summer scheduling, and the farm posts cooler-season class plans and event dates on its website.
