Radar Farms LLC

Radar Farms LLC, alpacas, Donahue, IA, is located in Scott County and the Quad Cities near Davenport. Established in the early 2010s, it has been breeding alpacas for more than ten years and maintains membership in local fiber guilds with regular health testing of herd adults and crias. The farm’s pasture-based approach offers daily turnout on well-drained paddocks and access to sheltered barns, where young crias receive gentle handling from an early age.

A selection of fleeces is skirted on-site and samples are sent to national fleece shows, reflecting the farm’s quiet dedication to fiber quality. Local fiber artists often remark on the consistency of fleece density and staple length, noting the even texture across the herd’s offerings.

Randy and Darlene share insights on nutrition and pasture rotation at local guild workshops. The farm also contributes fiber to area cooperatives for natural dye projects.
