Astrid's Alpacas

Astrid’s Alpacas is an alpaca breeder in Santa Paula, CA, Ventura County near Santa Barbara. Owner Astrid Greve has devoted many years to selective breeding that emphasizes calm temperament and fleece quality. The farm follows industry-recommended health protocols with regular veterinary checkups, routine fleece evaluation, parasite management, and annual cria assessments.

The herd grazes on open pastures shaded by oak trees and receives daily handling to encourage socialization and natural behaviors. Young crias are raised in family groups to foster healthy herd dynamics and resilience during early development. Astrid participates in regional alpaca associations, speaks at community workshops on fiber art, and advocates sustainable ranching. Scheduled open days include paddock viewings and fleece demonstrations that cover shearing, fiber processing, and spinning basics. Many animals contribute fleece to local artisans and feature in community festivals, where their soft fleeces are warmly received by makers of artisanal yarn.
