Twisted Heart Alpacas

Twisted Heart Alpacas raises alpacas in Bayfield, Colorado, in La Plata County and the San Juan Mountains near Durango. Carolyn Woods has been breeding alpaca for several years and maintains membership in the Alpaca Owners Association, with routine health screenings and fleece quality assessments.

The herd grazes on open pasture with access to sheltered barns, and early handling ensures young animals are comfortable around people and farm activities. The farm’s alpaca fiber is valued for its softness and consistency, reflecting careful husbandry and selective breeding. Visitors to the property often highlight the relaxed atmosphere and the informative farm tour demonstrations, which showcase grazing practices and fleece processing.

The property has hosted alpaca for over a decade and balances sustainable pasture management with rotational grazing to maintain soil fertility. Each animal receives routine hoof trimming, veterinary care and seasonal wellness screenings to support overall health and consistent fiber growth.
