Thordarson Farms

Thordarson Farms, breeders of alpacas in Redmond, OR, is rooted in Central Oregon near Bend. The farm has been welcoming new crias for more than a decade and is a member of the Alpaca Owners Association.

They participate in national alpaca association health-testing programs and adhere to established breeding standards. Their herd enjoys generous pasture turnout and daily handling to support gentle temperaments. Young crias grow up alongside adult alpacas in well-ventilated barns designed for comfort.

Their focus on fiber quality yields uniform fleece valued by local spinners and weavers. Alpacas are known for their gentle nature and fine fleece, and the farm’s approach emphasizes natural feeding and rotational grazing. The farm’s simple practices aim for healthy animals and resilient pastures, and owners Kristian and Heather Thordarson draw on long-standing agricultural experience with thoughtful, natural, sustainable stewardship of the herd and land.
