Interact and feed
The structured visit includes time inside the pasture rather than limiting guests to a view from outside the fence.
Chesterfield, New Jersey
A long-running Huacaya breeding and fiber farm offering private pasture tours, seasonal open-farm weekends, fiber demonstrations, and an indoor alpaca store and studio.
Farm profile
Jackie Armiger and Ric Gaskill operate Windy Farm Alpacas in historic Chesterfield Township. Established in 1999, the farm combines a fine-fleeced Huacaya breeding program with an approachable visitor side built around pasture interaction, fiber education, and seasonal public days.
That combination distinguishes Windy Farm from New Jersey alpaca farms that concentrate exclusively on either livestock or public entertainment. Visitors can meet and feed the herd, while prospective owners can explore current animals, herdsires, breeding services, and farm support.
Private farm tours
Private tours are scheduled directly with the farm and are offered throughout the year when weather and farm work permit. Windy Farm asks visitors to arrange their tour at least a day ahead rather than arriving without an appointment.
Open-farm weekends
Windy Farm is advertising fall open-farm days for September 26–27 and October 3–4, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The events are scheduled for rain or shine, with the alpacas moved into the barn if conditions require it.
These public days combine pasture visits with hand-spinning demonstrations and access to the indoor store and studio. Watching fleece become yarn gives families a more complete view of alpacas and the fiber they produce than an animal encounter alone.

Windy Farm maintains a multicolored Huacaya herd and evaluates animals for fleece fineness, crimp, color, conformation, and breeding potential. Its current herd pages include females, junior herdsires, established males, and animals available for purchase or outside breeding.
The farm publishes individual animal profiles with pedigrees, fleece measurements, offspring information, and breeding notes. It also advertises financing arrangements for some sales and encourages prospective owners to make an appointment to discuss available alpacas and farm goals.
