Farm + fiber mill

A farm where the fleece stays part of the story

Grand Alpaca Company is operated by Les and Cherish Meyette in Montague, on Michigan's west side. The farm raises Huacaya alpacas and also runs a custom mini mill, giving the business an unusually direct connection between the animals in the pasture and the finished fiber leaving the barn.

That combination makes it different from many Michigan farms raising alpacas. Grand Alpaca works with its own fleece, but the mill also processes fiber for other farms, including both alpaca and sheep wool.

Custom fiber processing

From raw fleece to usable fiber

The mill offers several stages of fiber preparation rather than only spinning finished yarn. Customers can send in raw fleece or wool for cleaning and processing, then choose the form that best suits what they plan to make.

The alpaca herd

Fiber quality remains part of the breeding program

Grand Alpaca Company's herd is made up of Huacayas. The farm describes selecting animals for conformation, disposition, color, and fleece quality, with a herd representing a wide range of natural alpaca colors.

The farm also sells animals and provides support for buyers. Its sales program ties directly back to the fiber side of the business: alpacas purchased from Grand Alpaca Company include a discount on future fiber processing. For anyone learning more about raising and caring for alpacas, that connection between livestock and usable fleece is one of the more distinctive parts of this operation.
