East To West Farm (Demo Account)

East To West Farm (Demo Account) raises alpacas in Thousand Oaks, CA, in Ventura County near Los Angeles. It has been breeding alpacas for several years and follows state and national alpaca association guidelines for health screening and genetic testing.

Owner John Farmer emphasizes low-stress handling and sustainable land management across the farm’s pastures. The herd lives on rotational grazing pasture with daily turnout and structured socialization for young crias. Animal housing includes weather-sheltered loafing sheds with windbreaks, routine veterinary care, and weekly bedding changes to support the herd’s overall well-being.

Fleece samples undergo annual micron testing, reflecting the farm’s commitment to consistent fiber quality. Local fiber artists often note the softness of the alpaca fleece, a result of natural husbandry and gentle handling. The farm participates in local fiber festivals and community agricultural events to showcase its herd and fleeces.
