Laurel Farm Alpacas are alpaca breeders of quality, affordable alpacas offering a wide selection of coloured and white alpacas for sale. My name is Geraldine Thomas and I am responsible for the care of the alpacas and really enjoy working with these beautiful, gentle creatures, as well as showing them to our clients and other farm visitors. My husband, Mike and son David are also involved in the business undertaking pasture management and general maintenance of the farm as well as helping with routine husbandry when more hands are needed.

We are keen to maintain and improve 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 forty alpacas and are able to offer customers a very good selection of attractive alpacas

Alpacas for Sale - a selection from our prize winning herd is shown on our Alpacas for Sale page, or you can come and visit us and see all the choices that are open to you. We have a wide range of alpacas for sale which are ideal for fleece production, breeding or simply as a field pet. Pregnant alpaca females, young females, young in tact 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

Alpaca training in general welfare and care of alpacas is routinely offered to all our clients that are interested in our alpacas for sale, especially those new to looking after alpacas. We are happy to demonstrate various aspects of alpaca husbandry and can give our clients hands on experience before they take delivery of alpacas purchased from us

Alpaca Husbandry is carried out regularly at Laurel Farm on all our Alpacas for sale so that any animals you buy will be fully up to date with worming, vaccinations, and foot care

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 to assist in the design of their own alpaca farms.

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, a champion and a number of places. See our About Us 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.
