Our Partner Farms

Our partner farms do more than just raise incredibly fine animals.

Their presence in their local communities helps preserve open space and underpin local economies. What’s more, the fiber they produce allows Our Back 40 to offer yarns of extraordinary quality, and gives consumers a chance to purchase yarns with local provenance.

It takes years of intelligent breeding and thoughtful husbandry to produce alpaca fleece of the quality required for Our Back 40’s premium yarns. The farms listed below have distinguished themselves in that regard, as well as with their leadership and support of the alpaca industry and related enterprises. Through these efforts, big and small, they help preserve the viability of small-scale farming and fiber processing in the U.S., and create important options for consumers interested in supporting their local communities through their purchasing decisions.

We have listed the farms that supply Our Back 40 with its fiber alphabetically by state, to help you find the farms closest to you. Visit their websites to learn more about them. We hope you will check back frequently to learn about the new farms that have joined our growing community.
