Starr Alpaca Farm

Starr Alpaca Farm raises alpacas in Prineville, OR, in Crook County and Central Oregon near Bend. Valorie Starr has spent several years developing the herd and maintains membership in the Alpaca Owners Association while upholding strict health testing standards. The animals receive regular veterinary care, fiber quality assessments and routine vaccinations.

Husbandry emphasizes rotational grazing on open pasture with access to shade and shelter, and gentle handling helps crias acclimate to human interaction from an early age. Several alpacas have earned recognition for their fine fiber at regional exhibitions, and neighbors often comment on the herd’s calm temperament. The farm processes small batches of yarn on-site to maintain fiber quality from pasture to product.

The farm’s operation dates back to a family homestead, blending sustainable land management with quality fiber production. Visitors often enjoy seasonal tours that offer a closer look at alpaca care and the on-site yarn processing.
