About Us

Welcome to Carthvean Alpacas, one of the largest herds in Cornwall. We have been breeding alpacas for over seven years and have a well-established name and reputation.

Located in the beautiful South West of Cornwall, visitors are always welcome to visit our farm and see our herd by appointment; we can show you our selection of alpacas for sale, give you advice about keeping alpacas and tell you all about fleeces!  We specialise in helping first time buyers set up their foundation herd with advice on handling, quality, husbandry and breeding.  We love coloured animals and have always concentrated on breeding a range of colours from black, through grey, rose grey, chocolates, fawns through to whites.

We usually have a number of animals for sale in a range of ages, colours and prices and will talk through with you the practicalities of purchasing alpacas. You are always welcome to phone to discuss what is on offer.

We offer a full aftercare service for owners and help you to learn all aspects of looking after these beautiful animals including shearing, toenail clipping, vaccinating, training and stud services. We also have agistment (livery) at very reasonable terms, for owners who need their animals looked after from time to time.
