Farm overview
Fleece stays connected to the animals that grew it
Sundrop Alpacas raises a small herd in Bement with fiber as the central purpose. The alpacas are shorn annually, and the farm spends the following months turning fleece into yarn and handmade goods. Animals and fleeces also appear in regional shows and fiber competitions.
That fleece-to-product relationship gives Sundrop a different role from farm profiles centered mainly on breeding stock. The farm also describes coaching and mentoring for people entering alpaca ownership.
From the annual shearing
Fiber in several finished forms
The shop combines pieces connected to the farm’s own fleece with a broader selection of alpaca products.
Wearable goods
Socks, hats, scarves, and related pieces bring alpaca fiber into everyday use.
Home and craft items
Rugs, soaps, and other goods extend the shop beyond yarn and clothing.
Reserved farm time
Meet the herd or work with fiber
Visits can include a farm introduction, alpaca feeding, and time learning about the animals and their products. Sundrop has also offered private “Snuggles and Selfies” sessions and needle-felting instruction.
