Walnut Ridge Acres Alpaca Farm

Walnut Ridge Acres Alpaca Farm, alpaca, Enola, PA, is located in Cumberland County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. Jay Penica and Dj Penica maintain a closed breeding herd under routine health testing and follow established welfare guidelines for fiber animals.

Their alpacas graze on rotational pasture access and rest in a well-ventilated barn with ample loafing sheds designed for seasonal comfort. The animals are handled daily by familiar staff to support calm temperament and gentle interactions at all ages. The herd features multiple natural fleece colors, which local fiber artisans appreciate when blending custom yarns. Dietary plans are tailored by weight and age, with seasonal adjustments to ensure optimal health. Fleece from the herd is prized by local fiber artists for its softness and consistency. Community groups have visited the farm for hands-on educational demonstrations about sustainable fiber production, pasture management and basic animal care.
