Barnett's Creek Farm, LLC

Barnett's Creek Farm, LLC raises alpacas in Liberty, KY, nestled in Central Kentucky near Lexington. Owner Paul Phipps has been raising alpacas for more than a decade, backed by membership in the Alpaca Owners Association and regular participation in regional alpaca shows. Herd health is monitored through annual veterinary exams, routine vaccinations and fleece quality checks.

Animals graze on rotational pasture and receive daily handling to support calm temperaments and ease of shearing. Barnett's Creek Farm follows a selective breeding philosophy designed to enhance fleece density while preserving gentle dispositions. Fiber is harvested each spring by trained staff, then processed locally to benefit area artisans and knitters.

A focus on early socialization ensures that cria grow comfortable around visitors and other livestock. The farm sometimes welcomes small school groups and fiber guilds for informal tours, providing insights into animal care and fleece preparation.
