Pursuit Of Happiness Alpaca Farm

Pursuit Of Happiness Alpaca Farm raises alpacas in Boston, NY, in Erie County near Buffalo. It follows national alpaca registry guidelines, conducting routine veterinary health checks and annual fiber assessments to ensure overall herd well-being.

Its alpacas graze on rotational pasture and join daily social groups to develop gentle temperaments and strong bonding patterns. The business also supports a small on-site fiber studio where fine fleece is milled into yarn and handcraft kits for local crafters. Visitors report consistent staple length and appreciate the farm’s private, wooded setting for educational tours.

Pursuit Of Happiness Alpaca Farm hosts seasonal workshops on alpaca care, fiber preparation, and sustainable farm management. Its breeding program focuses on sturdy conformation and balanced fleece density, following advice from regional fiber and livestock associations. Owner Dave Ballachino emphasizes attentive daily checks and gentle handling to foster trust and calm behavior.
