Harmony Springs Alpaca Farm

Harmony Springs Alpaca Farm is home to a herd of alpacas in Baker, WV, in the Potomac Highlands near Elkins. The farm has been raising alpacas for several years and maintains registration with the Alpaca Owners Association to support routine health exams and genetic screenings. Each alpaca lives in rotational pasture and has daily social interaction with staff to encourage gentle temperaments. The barn features heated stalls and open-air siding for year-round comfort.

Owners Richard, Katherine, and Amy have developed a small-scale fiber studio at the farm, offering onsite fiber processing and workshops in natural dye techniques. The farm’s focus on selective breeding has led to soft, durable fleeces prized by local textile artisans. Community open houses highlight the role of alpacas in sustainable agriculture and give visitors a glimpse of daily care routines. Visitors often note the calm temperament of the herd during guided farm tours.
