Stargazer Ranch Alpacas is a Loveland breeding operation with more than 25 years of alpaca-industry experience. The ranch raises breeding-quality alpacas, works with champion bloodlines, sells breeding stock, and provides education for prospective and established alpaca owners.
The ranch also turns its alpaca fiber into yarn and related products. It offers private, advance-scheduled ranch tours that include hand-feeding, alpaca education, and fiber demonstrations; tours can be adapted for groups, schools, and nonprofits.
-
Absaroka Alpaca Ranch is a deliberately small Colorado breeding operation that maintains roughly 20 to 35 alpacas. Its program selects mating pairs using EPDs, histograms, pedigrees, physical traits, and fleece performance in an effort to produce durable, high-quality fleece across generations.
The ranch sells alpacas and emphasizes individual support for buyers before and after a purchase. Prospective visitors are invited to schedule a visit to learn about the herd and ownership possibilities; its site also documents occasional open-farm dates and a ranch store, though the online store currently states that orders will not be fulfilled.
-
Alpenglow Alpacas is a small Westcliffe ranch operated by Linnea Laurila and Curt Gillespie. Raising alpacas since 1997 and based at its Colorado ranch since 2007, the operation focuses on naturally colored animals, sound conformation, health, fine and uniform fiber, and friendly temperaments.
Fiber is the core of the business rather than large-scale breeding-animal sales. The owners make finished products from their own alpaca fiber and market them through their Westcliffe art gallery, while occasionally offering breeding females or fiber animals for sale.
-
Autumn Sun Alpacas is a Calhan alpaca operation run by Mary and Michael Livingston. The farm describes its work as hands-on family-farm management spanning animal care, breeding, showing, fiber processing, artisan production, and sale of pet, fiber, production, and seedstock animals.
The ranch presents itself as a breeding and education-focused farm, with a herdsire listing and alpacas for sale. It has offered fiber products and processing-related work, but its online store currently says it is temporarily closed and that available yarn is supplied through a Colorado Springs retailer.
-
B I Bar Ranch is a multigenerational family livestock operation that now keeps about 25 alpacas. It specializes in gray and other colored Suri alpacas and bases its program on sustainable breeding, sound conformation, fleece quality, animal sales, and mentorship for newer farms.
The ranch sells fiber items made from its animals, including yarn and custom apparel-oriented pieces. Visitors can arrange a time to meet the alpacas, and the ranch also advertises breedings through its herdsire program.
-
Blazing Star Ranch is a family-owned alpaca ranch in Elizabeth with an associated Denver-area yarn, spinning, and weaving business. The herd has been selectively bred for fiber, and the business sells its ranch-grown alpaca yarn, roving, raw fleeces, handspun yarns, and other fiber supplies.
The public-facing shop is located in Englewood, while the ranch itself offers bookable alpaca tours. The website describes those tours as a way to meet the alpacas, and the ranch uses its own animals' fiber as a central part of its retail and educational work.
-
Cedar Ridge Ranch is a working Carbondale ranch and agritourism destination with alpacas alongside horses, goats, chickens, cattle, and other animals. Its public programming combines farm life with lodging, horseback riding, kids' camps, wellness activities, stargazing, and educational experiences.
Guests can book farm tours, alpaca yoga, alpaca-and-felting sessions, and fiber workshops, and the ranch's farm store carries goods that include alpaca fiber and apparel. Its accommodations and activities make it an experience-based ranch rather than a breeding or stud-service operation.
-
Chimera Ranch is a family-owned, full-service alpaca farm in Bennett, established in 2009 by Sandra and Norm Johnson. It maintains a breeding program based on herdsire genetics, sells alpacas, and offers agisting for people who own alpacas but do not have a farm or the time for daily animal care.
Fiber is the ranch's primary output. Through its Enchanted Fibers business, it turns the herd's fleece into mill-spun and hand-spun yarn, rovings, felted wearable art, and other alpaca-related goods, with sales through its store and appearances at fiber markets and festivals.
-
Dusty Road Alpacas was an 80-acre Calhan ranch established in 2017, raising Huacaya alpacas with an emphasis on herd health, selective breeding, fleece metrics, and fiber-based profitability. The ranch earned recognition in the Alpaca Owners Association's medium-sized new-breeder high-point competition.
The farm's current public profile says it completed the sale and disposition of all its alpacas, so it is not operating as an active alpaca visitor destination or sales farm. It previously sold fiber goods through Etsy, but the farm should be treated as closed for alpaca-related services unless the owners announce otherwise.
-
el Zorro Colorado Alpacas is a small, long-running alpaca farm just outside Elizabeth. The operators have been in the alpaca business since 1994 and keep a herd on five and a half acres of high-plains pasture and Ponderosa shade.
The farm raises, breeds, boards, and sells alpacas, while also selling limited finished alpaca products. Visitors are welcome by appointment and can see raw and processed fiber, finished goods, and the alpacas themselves; the operation is geared to small scheduled visits rather than walk-in access.
-
Flying Iron Ranch is a Montrose-area alpaca breeding program owned and operated by Christine Brown and Jim Head. Its work centers on breeding, showing, and selling alpacas selected from diverse, elite bloodlines, along with offering outside breedings from champion herdsires.
The ranch is also an agritourism business. It offers appointment-required Alpaca Adventure tours and community events, and its farm store sells handmade apparel and other products made from its own fleece; farm-store visits are available by appointment and at special occasions.
-
Hallmark Ranch Alpacas is a small, hands-on Salida ranch run by Nelson and Peggy Reininger. The ranch focuses on daily care of a small herd in a personal ranch setting and has reduced its herd from about 40 animals to five.
The ranch welcomes scheduled visits so guests can meet and feed the alpacas, and its fiber studio/store sells yarn, fleece-based products, and alpaca-related gifts. The website states that ranch tours will end after September 30, 2026, while the store will continue by appointment until further notice.
-
High Plains Alpaca Ranch is a Pueblo West fiber-focused operation run by Ray and Lynn Moore. It keeps well-bred gelded male alpacas and follows a hands-on "farm to frock" process: shearing, skirting, sorting, cleaning, and blending its own fleece rather than sending it to a mill.
The ranch sells raw and prepared fleece, rolags, batts, and related hand-crafted alpaca fiber goods, and has a Lease-A-Fleece program for people who want to follow the fiber journey. It is open seven days a week by appointment and supports youth programs with individualized ranch visits and agricultural education.
-
Little Circle Farm Alpacas is a Penrose Huacaya breeding farm operated by Robin and Gary Neher.

The business also operates an online and farm store with yarn, roving, clothing, gifts, and handcrafted items from its alpacas. Visits to the farm store and herd are scheduled in advance, and its breeding program includes herdsire services and a mobile mating option for smaller farms within driving distance.
-

Experiences are bookable online, run year-round in most weather, and last about 90 minutes. The operation is designed for all ages and says it is wheelchair and mobility friendly; it also has a farm-store page, though the reviewed site does not describe breeding or stud services.
-
Moondance Alpaca Ranch is a 35-acre Littleton fiber-art operation led by owner and designer Alicia Marshall. Rather than breeding alpacas, the ranch keeps alpacas for their fleece and uses that fiber to make hand-felted art, apparel, and home-decor pieces.
The owner describes her method as "Painting with Fiber," combining natural alpaca colors with hand-dyed wool and wet- or needle-felting techniques. The ranch sells finished works online; the reviewed site does not advertise public tours, breeding, or event services.
-
Our Red Barn Ranch is a 40-acre Calhan ranch that combines livestock care, agritourism, stays, horseback activities, and a fiber farm stand. Alpacas are part of its working-ranch setting, alongside other animals and conservation-focused small-acreage farming.
The ranch hosts farm experiences and periodically holds public open-farm weekends. Its farm stand and online shop sell alpaca-fiber goods such as socks, hats, ruanas, capes, supplies, and finished products, in addition to goods from local artisans and ranch foods.
-
Red Granite Ranch is a family-run Northern Colorado Huacaya breeding program established in 2009.

The ranch also operates an alpaca-product store selling yarn, socks, hats, scarves, gloves, blankets, and other items made in Colorado, the United States, or by Peruvian artisans. It invites visitors to schedule ranch tours and hands-on alpaca education, including group visits and field trips.
-
Rockin' R Alpacas is a family-owned Conifer ranch operated by Andy and DJ Riedel. The ranch offers visits, alpaca sales, agisting or boarding, and product sales, making it both a small livestock operation and a contact-based visitor destination.
Visitors can arrange a ranch visit by phone, text, or email. The ranch also participates in community events, including Conifer's Elevation Celebration, while its website does not clearly advertise breeding, weddings, or a dedicated farm store.
-
Shambalah Alpaca Ranch is a Franktown Suri breeding program run by Hillary Devin. The ranch breeds show-focused Suri alpacas, sells animals and herdsires, provides agisting for owners without their own ranch, and reports national recognition for its breeding program.
Its farm store is open and carries alpaca-related products. General-public ranch tours are currently suspended, although the ranch says corporate team-building tours may be available by request; the operation therefore remains publicly accessible for store activity but not for ordinary drop-in or general tours.
-
Shekinah's Alpacas is a southwest Colorado ranch founded in 1997. Its original Huacaya breeding program used established bloodlines, including Accoyo stock, and focused on natural color, fleece fineness, density, and conformation.
The farm no longer breeds alpacas and has scaled down to a small number of foundation animals whose fleece is harvested annually. It continues to offer finished yarn by appointment, but does not offer boarding, public tours, or breeding services.
-
Sopris Alpaca Farm is a 53.6-acre irrigated farm near Silt, operated by Cory and Kim Wesson. In business since 2014, the farm raises and sells show-quality alpacas in multiple colors and pairs its livestock program with a boutique and bed-and-breakfast setting.
The farm provides hands-on alpaca visits, birthday parties, and school field trips, giving it a strong public-experience role alongside breeding and sales. Visitors can schedule farm visits and stay at the bed and breakfast; the reviewed site does not clearly advertise an outside stud-service program or weddings.
-
Sunrise Silhouettes is a family-run alpaca farm that centers its business on facilitated interactions between people and alpacas. The farm has operated for more than 15 years and presents itself as an experience provider rather than primarily a breeding or fiber-production farm.
Its services include farm visits, private events, weddings, birthdays, and a summer activity program. The reviewed site does not advertise stud services or an alpaca-product shop, but it clearly markets alpaca appearances and on-farm experiences for celebrations and group occasions.
-
Triple H Ranch is a family-owned Sedalia operation breeding Suri alpacas and Angora goats. Drawing on more than 40 years of livestock experience, it offers seed stock and fiber animals for sale, breeding services, mentoring, and full agisting, including breeding and birthing support.
The ranch maintains a herdsire program and a small fiber-product presence, and its site includes a video ranch tour. Public tours or event programming are not clearly advertised, so its visitor-facing role appears secondary to breeding, sales, boarding, and client mentorship.
-
Wild Hair Alpacas is a family-run 35-acre alpaca farm north of Colorado Springs operated by Peter and Barbara Ziek. It selectively breeds Huacaya alpacas for fineness, uniformity, and color, offers breeding stock and companion or fiber animals for sale, and maintains a herd of many color variations.
The farm also sells hand-felted items, yarn, socks, hats, gloves, scarves, toys, and other alpaca-related products. Visits are available by appointment, and the operation can accommodate tour groups, making it both a working breeding farm and a scheduled public attraction.
-
Xanadu Farm Alpacas is a long-running Frederick Huacaya breeding operation owned by Pamela Ray. Established in 1993, the farm works with pedigree development, champion animals, alpacas for sale, crias, herdsires, and international export opportunities.
The farm's focus is breeding and investment-oriented alpaca ownership rather than public agritourism. It advertises herdsires and provides farm contact and directions, but the reviewed site does not clearly advertise general tours, weddings, events, or retail alpaca-fiber products.
