Hazard Alpacas

Hazard Alpacas breeds alpacas in Jamul, CA, in San Diego County near San Diego. Rick and Patti Hazard have been sharing their passion for alpaca care and fiber production for years and follow guidelines from the Alpaca Owners Association. Their herd undergoes regular health checks, including annual vaccinations and parasite screening, and is maintained in mixed-age groups to encourage natural herd dynamics.

The animals live on open pasture, where they graze native grasses and enjoy daily handling that supports calm temperaments and strong human bonds. Nestled in the rolling foothills of Deerhorn Valley, the farm environment helps maintain high-quality fleece through rotational grazing, shade shelters and mineral-rich feed. Private farm visits welcome small groups to observe breeding routines, fiber processing and hands-on demonstrations in a relaxed setting. A reputation for gentle, well-socialized alpacas has earned favorable feedback from fiber artists, local therapists and fellow small-scale breeders.
