Thunder Moon Farms

Thunder Moon Farms is home to alpacas in Grassy Creek, NC, in Mitchell County near Asheville. Craig and Deborah Weinstein run the farm with over a decade of breeding experience and maintain membership in the Alpaca Owners Association, ensuring routine health checks and lineage records. Established on a hillside farm, the operation combines sustainable pasture management with seasonal rotations and provides open-air shelters and socialization for crias from birth.

Several herd members have earned top placings at regional alpaca fairs. The farm's rolling fields yield alpacas known for fine, uniform fleece suited to hand spinning and artisan mills. Seasonal farm tours allow visitors to meet crias and observe daily care, reflecting the Weinsteins’ commitment to animal welfare and educational outreach. Visitors often note the relaxed atmosphere and the alpacas’ gentle dispositions. New owners receive detailed care guides and breeder support to ensure a smooth transition.
