Man In The Moon Farm LLC

Man In The Moon Farm LLC alpacas are based in New Castle, VA, Craig County and the Allegheny Highlands near Roanoke. Mark Edmonds and Brenda Landes have raised alpacas for more than a decade and maintain membership in the Alpaca Owners Association, with routine health screenings and fleece quality assessments. The herd grazes on rotational pastures at their mountain home, where careful socialization helps alpacas grow in calm, pasture-based herds.

Their breeding program emphasizes natural fiber characteristics, supporting local fiber artists through sample offerings and farm visits. The couple draws on family farm traditions to provide a relaxed environment that encourages gentle handling and early halter training. The farm’s intimate herd size allows personalized care for each animal, with individual health records and dietary plans tailored to older and younger alpacas alike. Shearing takes place on-site during warmer months, and fleece is processed to support local small-batch yarn producers. Reviews note the farm’s friendly atmosphere and the well-adjusted nature of its alpacas.
