Paragon Alpacas

Paragon Alpacas, run by Bari Padgett in Dickerson, Maryland, raises huacaya alpacas with a deliberate focus on gray and fawn coloration. The farm is home to a herd of more than 60 animals, placing it among the larger alpaca operations available to buyers searching for alpacas for sale in Maryland.

Dickerson sits in Montgomery County, roughly 35 miles northwest of Washington, D.C., giving the farm easy reach to buyers across the mid-Atlantic region. Paragon holds membership in both the Alpaca Owners Association and the Maryland Alpaca Breeders Association, reflecting an active connection to the broader alpaca community.

The program's emphasis on color genetics is a defining feature, with gray lines anchored by nationally recognized bloodlines that have accumulated championship records at AOBA nationals and other major shows. Fleece quality traits — particularly fineness, brightness, and uniformity of color — appear to guide selection decisions across the herd. Bari also works as an artist, designer, and photographer, and that creative sensibility carries through into the farm's fiber arts offerings alongside the breeding program.
