Wildwood Alpacas

Wildwood Alpacas is an alpaca breeder in Woodford, VA, serving Caroline County and the Northern Neck near Fredericksburg. Judy Howe and Sue Hammer have tended their herd for more than a decade, are members of the Alpaca Owners Association and adhere to routine health screening and annual vaccinations.

Their pasture-based herd enjoys regular grooming and daily pasture rotations, with foals raised alongside adults to promote calm temperaments. Each animal has access to spacious shelter and a balanced grain and forage diet overseen by a local veterinarian.

The farm’s commitment to fiber quality is reflected in soft, dense fleeces favored by local artisans and knitters. Annual shearing events allow visitors to observe fleece processing and basic spinning techniques up close. Many note the farm’s friendly atmosphere and appreciate opportunities to learn hands-on care practices during small guided tours. The rolling fields and shaded oak groves create a serene backdrop for sustainable farming education.
