Our Father's Farm

Our Father's Farm raises alpacas in New Hampton, NY, within Orange County and the Hudson Valley near Newburgh. They have been breeding alpacas for over a decade and hold memberships with national industry registries, ensuring thorough health testing. The herd grazes on pastures cut from rolling fields and is handled daily with gentle care to support calm interactions and long-term social well-being.

Kathy Paternoster and Joe Paternoster maintain bright, well-lit, ventilated barns where mothers and crias rest comfortably year-round. Farm visits are arranged by appointment to provide hands-on experience with routine care. Their herd includes bloodlines traced to top South American stock and their fleece consistently scores high in fineness and density. Seasonal shearing takes place under veterinary supervision to maintain animal health and fiber quality. One recent review noted their gentle handling and the clear attention paid to each animal’s comfort.
