Averegan Alpacas

Averegan Alpacas breeds alpacas in Campbellford, ON, serving Northumberland County and the Kawarthas near Peterborough. Founded by Donna Simmonds, the farm has focused on responsible breeding practices guided by registry standards and ongoing health testing, and it maintains membership in the Alpaca Association of Canada.

Animals enjoy daily pasture access, heated shelters in cold months, and gentle handling to encourage curiosity and ease with visitors. The farm’s quiet woodlots, shaded lanes and open paddocks create a calm setting that supports fiber quality and animal welfare. Donna’s background in textile arts informs selective breeding for soft, durable and sustainable fleece prized by hand spinners and weavers.

During annual fleece shearing in late spring, visitors can observe handling techniques, meet newborn crias, and watch maternal bonding. Visitors can tour the farm by appointment and learn about alpaca care in a relaxed, hands-on setting.
