A & R Alpaca Farm And Gift Shop

A & R Alpaca Farm and Gift Shop, run by Aaron and Robin Ridenour, raises alpacas in Williamsport, Ohio, in Pickaway County — roughly 45 minutes southeast of Columbus.

The farm has grown into one of the larger alpaca operations in the state, with a herd that has reached well over 100 animals in a range of approximately 20 natural color variations. Robin has noted that the breeding program focuses on tight fiber crimping, which produces the more desirable fleece for processing. The herd spends a significant portion of the year outdoors, moving inside during the hottest months to stay cool.

Every part of the fleece is put to use: premium blanket fiber is processed into yarn, secondary cuts from the neck and shoulder go into products like dryer balls, and the coarser leg fiber is used for stuffing. Alongside alpacas for sale in Ohio, the farm operates a gift shop offering alpaca fleece goods, local jams, honey, and handcrafted items including finger puppets. Annual shearing days are a regular event on the farm calendar, open to visitors who want a closer look at how a working alpaca operation runs.
