Strawberry Fields Alpaca Ranch

Strawberry Fields Alpaca Ranch raises alpacas in Arlington, Washington, about 40 miles north of Seattle in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. The ranch was founded by Chris Sturgeon, whose connection to alpacas traces back decades to his early years wearing alpaca sweaters as a caddy in Calgary — a personal history that eventually led to the purchase of his first animal in 2006.

The program places individual animal health and welfare at the center of everything it does, with an emphasis on responsible husbandry and continuous improvement of the ranch environment. Breeding decisions are guided by a forward-looking philosophy: rather than chasing show ribbons, the focus is on producing alpacas with finer fiber, greater fleece density, uniformity of color, and sound conformation — qualities that contribute to a more stable and marketable North American alpaca industry. Herdsires carry genetics from nationally recognized bloodlines including Accoyo America, Hemingway, and Quechua, among others.

Strawberry Fields is a member of several regional and national industry organizations, including the Pacific Northwest Alpaca Association, the Alpaca Owners Association, the Columbia Alpaca Breeders Association, and the Alpaca Association of Western Washington. For those seeking alpacas for sale in Washington state, the ranch also offers guided farm tours on weekends, providing hands-on education about the animals and the broader industry.
