Dragon Fleece Farm

Dragon Fleece Farm, alpacas, Stafford, VA, Stafford County and Northern Virginia near Washington, D.C., focuses on breeding healthy fiber animals. Michele Deitrick has cared for alpacas for years and follows industry-standard health screening through recognized registries. Animals graze on nutrient-rich pastures near the family farmhouse and enjoy daily turnout to encourage natural behaviors and social bonding.

The herd’s fleece is known for its fine texture and consistent staple length, qualities appreciated in handspinning and weaving. A multigenerational farmhouse setting provides alpacas with both open pasture and shelter in a climate-controlled barn for winter months. Visitors often note the calm temperament of the herd and the farm’s relaxed atmosphere during farm tours and shearing demonstrations. Their alpacas have been recognized for fleece quality at regional livestock fairs, reflecting a commitment to selective breeding and fiber excellence. Michele Deitrick collaborates with local spinners and weavers to support small-scale fiber crafts in the surrounding community.
