Walnut Hill Farm

Walnut Hill Farm is home to alpacas in Metamora, Michigan, southeast Michigan near Detroit. With several years of breeding experience, the farm maintains adherence to industry health testing protocols and fleece evaluation standards. Animals graze on rotational pasture by day and retreat to spacious, well-ventilated barns at night, with daily handling that nurtures calm, social alpacas.

From cria through adult, each animal receives individualized care, including routine vaccinations, hoof trimming, and regular fleece quality checks. Nancy Schell guides breeding decisions with attention to conformation, fleece density and luster, fostering alpacas that thrive in Michigan’s seasonal climate. Visitors often comment on the farm’s peaceful setting, and local fiber artists praise the softness and warmth of the fleece sourced here. The property spans gentle, oak-shaded pastures that offer alpacas a varied environment for grazing and exploration year-round. The farm hosts seasonal open days where visitors can learn about fiber processing, meet the herd and observe shearing demonstrations.
