Shalimar Alpacas

Shalimar Alpacas, alpacas, Warwick, NY, serves Orange County and the Hudson Valley near Newburgh. Olivier Gillotin and Patricia Gillotin have raised alpacas on their hillside farm for several years, maintaining high standards of care through pasture rotation and routine health testing by certified veterinarians. As members of the national alpaca association, they follow recommended protocols for vaccination and deworming schedules to ensure herd health. Each animal benefits from daily handling, enrichment activities, and turnout in spacious paddocks, fostering a gentle temperament and strong herd bonds. All breeding stock is evaluated for fleece density and conformation to support fiber production well suited to knitting and weaving.

The farm’s flock includes bloodlines prized by local fiber artists for their soft, lustrous fleece. Visitors appreciate the relaxed pace and the Gillotins’ patient guidance for first-time breeders and fiber enthusiasts. The barn’s comfortable shelter and dry paddocks support year-round well-being, and the farm’s small-scale setting offers an educational glimpse into alpaca stewardship.
