Hideaway Farm

Hideaway Farm alpacas in Starrucca, PA, in Wayne County and the Poconos near Scranton. It is affiliated with national alpaca registries, submits to annual genetic assessments, and maintains regular veterinarian screenings for its breeding stock.

Alpacas live on open pastures edged by native woodlands, with well-ventilated shelters that meet seasonal needs. Daily handling sessions focus on gentle socialization, helping young animals develop friendly temperaments and confidence in varied settings. The farm’s approach balances traditional husbandry with long-term welfare, aiming for steady herd health rather than rapid expansion.

David Mccloughan’s family has shaped the farmstead over generations, preserving stone walls and original barns to strengthen the sense of place on every visit. Sustainability practices include rotational grazing and natural fiber processing on site, keeping most processes within the farm’s footprint. Reviews often mention the herd’s calm disposition and the consistent quality of fleece year after year.
