So sorry but The Alpaca Shoppe Hut 6 will be closed today. One of our crias (baby alpacas) scratched her eye and needs meds throughout the day. Will keep you posted. Thanks for your understanding and sorry for any inconvenience.

We’d love to introduce everyone to the newest member of our alpaca family…

Welcome to the world, baby Elijah! 🤍

Mom had a little extra help getting him started, and we’re thankful he’s getting the care he needs. We know many of you have been asking about him, and we appreciate all the love and support.

If you’re spending time in Utica or visiting Starved Rock this week, stop by The Alpaca Shoppe at Market on Mill and celebrate with us! While Elijah is staying close to home, you can shop our cozy alpaca socks, scarves, gloves, sweaters, gifts, yarn, and so much more.

Every visit supports our family-owned alpaca business, and we can’t wait to tell you more about our herd.
