Hy-Haven Farm

Hy-Haven Farm is an alpaca breeder in Cuba, NY, Western New York near Buffalo. Debby Filer has been raising alpaca for over a decade, enrolling her herd with the Alpaca Owners Association and overseeing comprehensive health screenings for parasite resistance, dental checks, and vaccinations. A holistic feeding program combines mineral-rich pasture and custom grain mixes, supporting steady growth and fiber development. The herd grazes on pasture-based paddocks throughout the year, and each alpaca is handled daily to encourage calm behavior and social bonding.

Visitors and fiber artists praise the uniform density and softness of their fleece, noting consistent micron counts across the herd. On-site workshops introduce guests to fiber care and spinning, reflecting the farm’s focus on education and community. Seasonal fiber shows have honored several animals for their fleece quality, adding recognition to the farm’s name in Allegany County.
