New Hope Alpacas

New Hope Alpacas, alpacas, Clayton, OH in Montgomery County and the Miami Valley near Dayton. Mike and Alyssa Hamilton are members of the Alpaca Owners Association and have been breeding alpacas for over a decade with routine health screenings to ensure strong, well-adjusted animals.

Their herd grazes on rotational pastures, and the Hamiltons focus on gentle handling and early socialization to nurture calm temperaments. They maintain clean indoor shelter for colder months and supplement diets with locally milled feeds to support fiber quality and overall well-being. Several of the farm’s alpacas have earned ribbons for fleece quality at regional agricultural fairs, reflecting the couple’s attention to genetics and fiber production.

Visitors often remark on the alpacas’ curious nature and how the Hamiltons balance traditional farming with a relaxed atmosphere. They regularly collaborate with local fiber artists to feature their fleeces in handmade textiles.
