Alpacajoy Of Maryland

Alpacajoy Of Maryland is an alpaca breeder in Highland, MD, Prince George’s County and the Washington metropolitan area near Washington. Owner Joyce Miskovic follows standard health protocols on her small family farm, including annual veterinarian checkups and fiber evaluations.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures with year-round access to shelters, and daily handling fosters calm temperaments and ease of inspection. Breeding selections are guided by a focus on sturdy conformation and balanced fleece micron counts. Rolling fields encourage healthy fiber growth, while consistent hoof trimming and dental checks support overall well-being.

Visits often highlight the well-kept barns and the alpacas’ gentle dispositions, a testament to care routines established over years. Occasional on-farm workshops introduce local fiber artists to fleece grading and processing, strengthening ties with the regional fiber community. Fleece from the herd regularly appears at area fiber festivals and local craft shows, where artisans appreciate its color consistency and softness.
