Sierra Rose Alpacas

Sierra Rose Alpacas is a working alpaca ranch in Grass Valley, California, run by Howard and Cynthia Kuhlmann in the Sierra Nevada foothills, roughly an hour northeast of Sacramento. The ranch breeds and raises alpacas with a clear emphasis on sustainability, treating the herd as the center of a self-supporting farm system: fleece is shorn annually and processed into yarn, hats, gloves, socks, and other fiber goods, while composted alpaca manure feeds the ranch's pastures, flowers, and organic vegetable gardens.

Howard also tends a dyer's garden, using natural plant dyes to color the farm's alpaca fiber and yarn. That commitment to closed-loop farming has earned Sierra Rose Alpacas recognition as a Fibershed Transitional Climate Beneficial Farm, a designation that reflects low-carbon, regionally grounded fiber production.

Those interested in alpacas for sale in California can also visit the ranch in person, as Sierra Rose offers farm tours that allow guests to meet the herd directly. The operation reflects a hands-on approach to small-farm living, with the alpacas at its core.
