Wine Country Alpaca Farm

Wine Country Alpaca Farm is home to a small herd of alpacas on a family-run property in the Finger Lakes region near Ithaca. Owner Nikki Addicott has developed a program that emphasizes genetic diversity and parasite resistance through routine health testing with the Alpaca Owners Association. Its herd enjoys daily turnout on lush pastures and climate-controlled shelter to ensure year-round comfort. The farm’s approach to handling focuses on gentle socialization from birth, encouraging calm temperaments that suit fiber artists and therapy programs alike.

Visitors often note the animals’ approachable nature and well-maintained facilities. Seasonal shearing and on-site fiber processing reflect the farm’s commitment to sustainable practices. Local artisans value the soft fleece sheared each spring, while the farm occasionally hosts workshops on alpaca care and sustainable fiber practices. Guests have praised the well-organized layout and the animals’ gentle dispositions in recent feedback.
