The Alpacarosa

The Alpacarosa alpacas are located in Mogadore, OH, Summit County near Akron. They have been raising alpacas for several years and participate in regional breeder associations, ensuring regular health screenings, genetic evaluations and adherence to registration standards. Each animal receives biannual shearing on site, routine dental exams, parasite screenings and seasonal vaccinations as part of the Marquettes’ commitment to lifelong care.

Their herd grazes on open pastures with access to secure shelters, and daily gentle interactions support early socialization and confidence. They focus on maintaining gentle temperaments, sturdy conformation and a broad selection of natural fleece colors suited to various fiber uses. The family-owned operation processes fiber in small batches to preserve its character, collaborating with local fiber artists who value their consistency. The Marquettes also share practical insights on sustainable alpaca care that growers of all experience levels find informative.
