Tartan Acres LLC

Tartan Acres LLC specializes in alpacas in Homer, NY, serving Cortland County and the Finger Lakes region near Syracuse. Ken Clark follows standard registry guidelines, maintains detailed records, and arranges annual veterinary exams for each alpaca. The herd grazes on mixed pasture and is trained for gentle handling to support early socialization and ease during fiber growth.

The farm emphasizes genetic diversity to promote healthy offspring and adapts husbandry practices as new research emerges. Crias are selected for calm temperaments that suit both small-scale farms and educational outreach programs. Fleeces from Tartan Acres often receive top marks at regional fiber evaluations for their fineness and luster. The farm’s rolling fields and sheltered barns provide a low-stress environment, with careful attention to nutrition and shelter in all seasons. Visitors often come by appointment to observe the alpacas and learn about sustainable fiber production.
