Alpaca Of Whitaker's Mill

Alpaca Of Whitaker’s Mill raises alpacas in Joppa, MD, Harford County near Baltimore. The Hicks Family has cultivated a small breeding herd over several seasons and follows established herd health and genetic testing guidelines to maintain strong, healthy animals. Animals graze on well-managed pasture and receive daily attention as part of a hands-on socialization program that encourages calm temperaments and ease of handling.

A family-led operation on a rural property blends traditional care with attention to individual alpacas, and many visitors remark on the approachable nature of the herd. Fiber from the herd is processed on site for local artisans, and offspring are selected with an eye toward balanced conformation and soft fleece. Each spring, new crias join the pasture, allowing prospective owners to observe early development and temperament before making breeding or companionship decisions. Proximity to local fiber events connects the herd with area artisans and helps support sustainable small-scale wool production.
