Establo Alpacas & Farmstay

We farm alpacas and host a farmstay on a 10-acre lifestyle farm in Dunedin, New Zealand, just 6km from Dunedin's town centre. We have been farming alpacas since 2004, and are members of the Alpaca Association of New Zealand (AANZ). Our decision to invest in alpacas was driven by a number of key factors. First, we firmly believe that there is a strong market for alpaca and alpaca product both now, and, in the foreseeable future. There are many qualities that alpaca fibre possess that make it a truly remarkable natural fibre, and already it has made an impact in designer circles all over the world. We also see room for growth in the industry. The quality of alpaca in New Zealand is improving every year, but there is still an enormous amount of potential to improve fibre attributes. We decided to take up this challenge and it is our goal to work with top genetics so that we can contribute to the quality of alpaca in New Zealand.
