Joseph & Lauren Todaro

Joseph & Lauren Todaro are Huacaya alpaca breeders in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, Mid-Michigan near Lansing. They have been raising Huacaya alpacas for over a decade and hold membership in the Alpaca Owners Association, with each animal routinely health-tested and fiber-sampled for consistent quality.

Their alpacas graze in rotational pastures, and daily handler interactions help ensure calm temperaments from an early age. The family farm emphasizes sustainable grazing practices and clean, comfortable shelters through all seasons. Visitors often note the fine fleece and approachable nature of the herd.

Their breeding program focuses on strong conformation and consistent fleece density to meet the needs of hand-spinners and crafters alike. They offer small group farm visits and collaborate with local artisans to turn specialty fiber into yarn and felted goods. Based in a former dairy barn, the farm retains its rustic charm while providing modern care and enrichment for each cria.
