Have you ever snuggled with an alpaca? Visit a Maryland Alpaca Farm and see for yourself why it's called "Alpaca Magic". There is nothing like them! Alpacas are one of the cutest and most amazing animals in the world. They have a very calming effect which you feel as soon as you enter the fields. At Painted Sky Alpaca Farm, you will have the opportunity to get up close & personal with our alpacas. They have known nothing but love from their human friends so they are very socialized and love meeting people. You may even garner an alpaca kiss!
After meeting and loving on our alpacas, you can visit our on-site fiber mill where you will learn how we transform raw fleeces into beautiful yarns, rovings, batts and rug yarns. Painted Sky Fiber Mill is the only full service fiber mill in Maryland.
You will conclude your tour in our Gift Shop where you will see a wide variety of finished products made from alpaca fiber.
History
Established in 2012.
For over 48 years, we thought we were living the American Dream by running our own family owned fulfillment business. We worked hard, had great clients, awesome employees and had a very successful business. We thought life was great. We worked day-in and day-out as most business owners do. We had a nice lifestyle but our lives no longer felt fulfilled. Something was missing.
So in 2002, we decided it was time to make a life change. We had always dreamed of having our own farm where we could raise and care for our horses (Frosty and Jason), find some peace and quiet, slow down, relax and enjoy life.
Then one day we came across some literature that talked about alpacas. We were fascinated and started researching them and visiting alpaca farms to learn about them. It wasn't long before we fell totally in-love with them. They are amazing animals!
We know how truly blessed we are so we decided to open our farm to the public and share the Alpaca Lifestyle with all of our visitors.
