Glengary Farm Alpacas/Andean Group LLC

Glengary Farm Alpacas/Andean Group LLC raises alpacas in Holly Ridge, NC, in Onslow County near Wilmington.

Owned by Patrick Cassese, the farm has focused on refining fiber quality through selective breeding and routine health checks. Herds graze on open pasture and benefit from daily interactions that foster gentle dispositions, while quarterly veterinary checkups and routine dental and toenail care maintain overall herd health. Animal facilities include insulated run-in sheds and ample shade structures, and each cria receives early handling to support secure socialization. This husbandry approach, combined with adherence to industry health standards, supports consistent fiber growth and stress-free development.

Farm alpaca fleeces are valued by local fiber artists for their consistent softness and staple length. Educational workshops on fiber processing and spinning have drawn artisans from neighboring communities. Select breeding stock has been featured at local agricultural fairs, reflecting the farm’s role in regional farming traditions.
