Silkie's Farm

Silkie's Farm alpacas, Chester Springs, PA, in Chester County and the Brandywine Valley near Philadelphia. Marcia Silkroski follows breed registry standards and oversees scheduled health testing, including annual vaccinations and veterinary dental checks, to support balanced genetics and herd well-being. The alpacas graze on rotational pasture and enjoy daily handling, reflecting a farm philosophy centered on gentle care and community-minded stewardship.

Custom shelters provide shade in summer and warmth in winter, with hay racks positioned to encourage natural foraging. Each year a small number of offspring is retained to strengthen consistency in temperament and fleece quality. Fiber from the herd often exhibits consistent density and luster, a marker of the animals’ health and attentive management.

Rooted in a converted dairy barn dating to the early 1900s, Silkie's Farm honors local agricultural traditions while embracing current best practices in animal welfare. The farm collaborates with local fiber artists to support educational workshops and foster sustainable agriculture.
