Break Loose Farm

Break Loose Farm, an alpaca breeder in Solsberry, IN, is located in Monroe County near Bloomington. After several years participating in the alpaca community, owner Ann Kaminski holds membership in the Alpaca Owners Association and follows standard health-testing protocols.

The alpacas are group-housed on pasture with shelters, receiving regular grooming and gentle handling to support early socialization. Sustainability guides the farm’s approach to pasture rotation and nutrient management on its family homestead. This focus on fiber quality has earned recognition at regional fleece shows, and many visitors remark on the herd’s calm temperament.

The current herd spans several fleece colors, from bright white to rich bay black, each evaluated for crimp and density. Visitors often note the alpacas’ friendly nature and consistent health, reflecting the farm’s routine veterinary checkups. Ann shares her knowledge through occasional fiber workshops for local artisans, fostering a supportive weaving community.
