Mill Pond Alpacas

Mill Pond Alpacas We are a family owned full-service Huacaya alpaca farm, focused on sustainability, development, education and community. All families are welcome here at MPA.

Rooted in history and building new traditions, we offer guided tours, seed-stock and mentorship, and sell luxe alpaca wares. Mill Pond Alpacas is a 90 acre, family owned and operated Huacaya alpaca farm located in picturesque upstate New York, just 20 minutes east of Albany in Rensselear County. MPA offers farm tours BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, property rental for photography with vintage farm equipment

available for staging, on-property parties and events, customized alpaca rental for your events, breeding and stud services, and livestock sales. MPA also boasts a small business alpaca product shop on-property and online, Mill Pond Mercantile. Our luxe alpaca products are made in the US with US grown alpaca, or WFTO fair trade guaranteed. Mill Pond Alpacas is an inclusive farm; we will always do our best to accommodate any mental health or mobility needs. Established in 2014, we started our journey into alpaca ownership because of our love for agriculture and a drive to instill that in our three daughters. We have since added a son to our group of farmhands. We are all smitten with the majestic nature of these sensitive and intuitive creatures, and hope to share that love with others. After two years of research and preparation, we choose our foundation herd in 2016, boasting exemplary bloodlines. Mill Pond Alpacas takes pride in giving our animals the utmost care through solid nutrition, a clean, healthy living environment, and conscientious individualized care. We strive to maintain quality bloodlines, producing crias with gentle temperaments and dense, full coverage, uniform crimp, and soft lustrous fleece. We are excited to continue this adventure in alpacas, and cannot wait to see what unfolds for MPA in the years ahead. Be sure to reach out to schedule your farm tour, trip to the on-site Mercantile, or inquire about property or alpaca rentals. Much love, from our family to yours,
The Hartes of Mill Pond Alpacas

Lopping off baby pumpkins after fighting so hard to keep this patch alive hurts, but it’s a necessary evil. Removing these immature pumpkins redirects energy needed to grow and ripen the established fruit already on the vines. Hoping we start seeing less green and more orange, white, blue and pink soon!

Welcome to the “BER” months, friends of Mill Pond Alpacas. Love Nona, Bronwyn and Petunia.

CRIA NUTRITION

The primary source of nutrients for a cria (baby alpaca) is milk, with a newborn practicing eating solids around day 7-10. Bronwyn is ahead of the curve at just five days old, nibbling on forage out to pasture with the herd. Around two months, her digestive system will mature to effectively process nutrients from both forage and Nona’s milk. For now, this instinct to graze is just innate curiosity and an internal drive to develop her digestive system. 🌱🌱🌱

My favorite moments as an alpaca farmer. When a new generation is thriving, and any concerns about the health of a newborn melt away. I cannot wait for everyone to meet our newest herd member, Mill Pond Native Blue’s Bronwyn, AKA Maple Latte: the sweetest little cup of sunshine you’ll enjoy this fall. See you at the Alpaca Farm Days 2026 for her debut!
