Aurora Alpacas is a family-owned alpaca ranch on 80 acres.

We purchased our 1st alpacas in 2017 and since then, we have produced National, Supreme and Color Champions, which we are extremely proud of. Currently we have 32 alpacas including the 4 cria (baby alpacas) we had this summer.

Learn to love alpacas like we do by getting a change to:
