Willow Winds Alpacas

Willow Winds Alpacas is an alpaca breeder in Irwin, PA, Westmoreland County and southwestern Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. Owner Tom Polovina has spent years developing a herd focused on strong fiber quality, following national registry guidelines and conducting routine health checks to monitor parasite levels and fleece condition. Alpacas graze on managed pastures with access to sturdy shelters, and daily handling from cria stages fosters calm and confident animals comfortable in family settings.

The breeding program emphasizes diverse fleece colors and consistent staple length prized by fiber artisans and small-scale mills. Polovina regularly participates in fiber shows and holds membership in the Alpaca Owners Association, reflecting involvement in the broader alpaca community. The farm’s gentle rolling fields and climate-controlled barns support optimal growth throughout every season. Daily enrichment includes halter training and group socialization sessions, ensuring young alpacas adapt smoothly to diverse farm routines.
