Gaia's Grove Farm

Gaia's Grove Farm alpacas in Shermans Dale, PA, serve Cumberland County near Harrisburg. Michael and Nina Fitchet have been raising alpacas for several years and maintain herd health through regular veterinary care and fiber quality testing. Their herd grazes on well-managed pastures and the animals enjoy daily handling to promote gentle temperaments. All alpacas have access to spacious shelters and seasonal supplemental feeding to support optimal growth.

Local artisans regularly source fleece directly from the farm, and the fiber has been showcased at state fairs, earning commendations for fineness and uniform staple length.
