Burlington Ridge Farm

Burlington Ridge Farm is an alpaca breeder in Wilmington, OH, serving Clinton County and the Cincinnati area. Michele Fowler has guided the farm’s growth through careful selection of breeding stock and participation in the Alpaca Owners Association, with routine health screenings and fleece evaluations.

Animals live on lush open pasture and in a ventilated barn that lets them escape extreme weather, and daily handling ensures each one is calm around people. The farm’s focus on fiber quality is reflected in annual fleece shows where several animals have been recognized for density and brightness. Visitors note the herd’s gentle temperament and the attention paid to sustainable land management.

Based on more than five years of breeding experience, Fowler prioritizes genetic diversity and social groups that mirror natural herd dynamics. The farm’s heritage barn has been adapted as a quiet nursery for cria, reflecting respect for both history and animal comfort.
