Highland Airs Alpaca Ranch

Highland Airs Alpaca Ranch, alpacas, Thompson, CT, raises its herd in Windham County and northeastern Connecticut near Worcester. It has served local farmers and fiber enthusiasts since 2010 as a member of the Alpaca Owners Association and maintains routine health assessments for parasite control and vaccinations. Its alpacas graze on rotational pastures with shelter in a century-old barn and benefit from daily handling to encourage calm temperaments.

Colin Scott and Joy Scott emphasize sustainable practices and natural fiber uses for hand spinning and weaving. Offspring fleeces have earned ribbons at county fairs and enthusiasts often praise the even micron counts. Farm visits can be arranged by appointment for a closer look at the animals and the ranch’s approach to alpaca care. It also partners with local artisans to showcase hand-dyed yarns at craft events. The ranch’s emphasis on low-stress shearing ensures high-quality fleece while prioritizing animal well-being.
