Cabin View Alpacas

Cabin View Alpacas raises alpacas in Trumansburg, NY, serving Tompkins County and the Finger Lakes near Ithaca. Owners Christine Houseworth and David Houseworth run a family-based operation, breeding alpacas with an emphasis on health and fiber quality. They have been raising alpacas for several years and participate in national registry programs to track lineage. Their herd undergoes routine health screenings, fiber quality assessments and structured pasture rotation to support long-term herd strength.

The alpacas graze on open pasture and have access to spacious shelters during colder months, with gentle daily handling to nurture calm characters. Several of their animals have earned ribbons at regional fiber shows and their fleeces often draw praise from local handspinners for consistent micron counts. Owners monitor each animal closely for signs of discomfort and introduce youngsters to the farm’s resident sheepdog for early socialization. Visitors note the relaxed pace and friendly atmosphere created by the couple’s attentive care and hands-on approach.
