Wellspring Suri Alpacas

Wellspring Suri Alpacas is an alpaca breeder in Santa Fe, NM serving Northern New Mexico near Albuquerque. Owner Jeannie Wells maintains membership in national alpaca associations and follows industry-recommended health protocols with regular vaccinations and annual fleece evaluations. Farm representatives regularly attend regional alpaca shows and fiber festivals to benchmark fleece quality against breed standards. The herd grazes on open pastures, and pasture rotation and mineral supplementation support balanced nutrition throughout the seasons.

Each alpaca is handled daily from a young age to promote calm temperaments and social confidence. Lines are selected for their fine luster, and fleece is prized by regional fiber artists for its softness and sheen. The farm operates at 7,000 feet above sea level, and Santa Fe’s high desert climate contributes to the herd’s resilience and fiber density. A tradition of sustainable husbandry underscores their approach to animal welfare and fiber production.
