Rustic Ridge Alpacas

Rustic Ridge Alpacas are alpacas in Amherst Junction, WI, in central Wisconsin near Wausau. They have been raising alpacas for several years and are members of the Alpaca Owners Association, performing regular health screenings to ensure strong bloodlines and overall well-being. Animals graze on rotating pastures during the warmer months, with access to clean barns stocked with fresh bedding and daily handling that encourages trust and social bonds.

Their focus on gentle handling helps young alpacas acclimate to varied environments, and they maintain spacious paddocks with shelter and constant access to fresh water. With a background in sustainable agriculture, Tom and Brenda share insights during farm visits and clients often highlight the calm temperament and healthy appearance of their herd. Several of their alpacas have produced award-winning fleece noted for its softness and uniformity, a point of pride for the family-run operation. Visitors appreciate the relaxed pace and the opportunity to learn about shearing and fiber processing firsthand.
