Here at Laurel Farm Alpaca Breeders we offer a down to earth approach to keeping these fascinating   animals.  We can answer all your questions, and share our experience of setting up and starting out in the industry. We offer as much after sales help and back up as you feel you need and if you do not have your own land we can keep your alpacas here until you are ready to take them.

Phone Mike or Geraldine Thomas or email us with any queries or to arrange a farm visit. We are open to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays every week but if  you are travelling any distance we would recommend arranging a special appointment.

We are constantly improving  the quality of our herd through our own breeding programme enhanced by outside blood lines and are particularly interested in keeping the wonderful variety of colour, which distinguishes the alpaca, as well as white fleece. With this year's births we will have a herd of well over fifty alpacas and are able to offer customers a very good selection of affordable attractive alpacas
Alpacas for Sale - a selection from our prize- winning herd is shown on our Alpacas for Sale page, and if you come to visit us we can show you all the options which are available to you with no pressure, hype or confusing jargon.

We have a wide range of alpacas for sale which are ideal for fleece production, breeding or simply as attractive field pets/lawn mowers. Pregnant alpaca females, young females, young intact males and wethers are always available. All the pregnant female alpacas we have for sale come with a live birth guarantee including free repeat mating if unsuccessful and half price re-mating to one of our males standing at stud.

Alpaca Information - here at Laurel Farm Alpacas we are always happy to supply as much useful information as we can. See our alpaca information page which gives a short history of the alpaca together with a summary of the current state of the alpaca industry. We also supply Gina Bromage's excellent Guide to the Management of Llamas and Alpacas  which we have found covers all the information which the new alpaca owner is likely to need. Click here to find out why Alpacas are so rewarding.

We have set up our paddocks in a pattern which enables us to move our alpacas around very easily and with minimum stress, with nearly every paddock being accessible from a central race and we are always happy for visitors to come and look at our layout and will visit your land to advise you how to set up.  We can also let you have photos, drawings and specifications of our special and very successful alpaca  field shelters.

Alpaca wool and garments made from our own very fine alpaca wool are available at Laurel Farm Alpacas in all the natural colours of the alpaca. Our alpacas are sheared once a year and we keep some of the fleece for sale direct to hand spinners and the rest is sent to a mini-mill and spun into high quality knitting wool. Many holiday makers and locals love to come to the farm to buy their wool, and we have a number of hand-knitters who design and knit for us, so that we have a selection of items for sale for visitors.

Alpaca Shows have become an important part of the Laurel Farm calender with an encouraging number of show successes. In only two years of showing we have had two reserve champions, two champions  and a number of places. See our About Us page and Show Results page for the full details.

We are Alpaca Farmers on the Devon/Somerset border in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Situated on the Main A358 between Chard and Axminster with stunning views of the Devon countryside. Easy access from the M5 and A303.
