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”!

The 2022 EPDs are in! and once again our small farm of 21 alpacas has done well. We had 2 alpacas in the top 1%, 7 in the top 5%, and 7 in the top 10% for the various fleece characteristics measured. There were over 53,000 female alpacas and 29,000 male alpacas which participated in the EPD program in 2022. For clarity and brevity we are highlighting 3 of the 9 characteristics measured which we've been emphasizing in our breeding program - Fineness (AFD), Uniformity (SDAFD) and Mean Staple Length (MSL). Several of our alpacas have placed in the top 5% and 10% in other characteristics as well. Here's our list:
