Alpacas in Pennsylvania
Welcome to Sugar Hollow Farm Alpacas, LLC and our alpacas in Pennsylvania! We are a small family run, veteran owned alpaca farm located in Waynesboro, PA offering huacaya alpacas and alpaca fiber products, both handmade and manufactured, for sale.
Sugar Hollow breeds for yarn. Our alpacas are high quality animals with beautiful fleece, excellent conformation, and easy going personalities. You’ll find plenty of density, crimp and fineness here – take a look at Matoskah’s skin biopsy results – Ian Watt of Alpaca Consulting places him in the top four of animals he’s tested for fineness and density. Our goal is to produce alpacas whose fleece will produce soft, bright yarn of the highest quality.
Come see Kathy’s hand-woven shawls & scarves, hand-knitted baby booties, warm socks, hats, stuffed animals, and dolls – all made of alpaca fiber – at our farm store and at craft fairs in the South Central Pennsylvania area. As our herd grows, so does our stock of home grown yarn (we can tell you which animal it comes from), and we have plenty of commercially processed alpaca yarn for sale, too. Interested in getting into alpaca farming? Arrange with us to visit our farm and see what is meant by “living the alpaca lifestyle”!

Alpaca Farm News
Shearing day is behind us, so now what do we do? Shearing is just the first step in turning the crazy soft and warm alpaca fleece into crazy soft and warm apparel for people to wear. After shearing we skirt the fleece on (what else) a skirting table. That is what Kathy is doing in the picture above right. [Read more...]
Come visit us! As the weather turns warmer it's time to consider a family visit to the farm! Alpacas love the arrival of spring as much as we do - the air is fresh, the grass is green again, and there is lots of pronking in the pastures! We don't charge for farm visits (unless your group is 10 or more people - then it is $2.50 per person) but we do encourage a stop in the farm store where you can pick up a memento from your visit (or better yet - some soft, lightweight spring alpaca socks!).

Featured Alpacas
Sugar Hollow's Louie Louie was one of three cria born on our farm in 2021. His first alpaca shows are coming up this spring and we are really impressed by how his fleece has come in! These pictures were taken on March 1. As you can see he has excellent staple length and nice crimp. He is also very fine and uniform with a beautiful light fawn color which will make very pretty yarn. His sire is our top stud alpaca Poseidon Isaac's Matoskah. His dam is King Leonidus' Tiny Dancer. (The picture below looks lighter because of different lighting. Both pictures are Louie)
