About Our Clothing
Direct from Misty Acres Alpaca: These items, made from the fleece of our very own Maine-raised alpacas, include socks, blankets, mittens, and hats. Since our fleece production is limited, our selection and quantities are also limited. These products are manufactured in the U.S.A. or Canada.
NEAFP Clothing and Home Goods: We offer products from New England Alpaca Fiber Products (NEAFP), including felt innersoles, socks, driving gloves, and mittens. These items are made in the USA from fiber purchased from American alpaca farmers, including fleece from Misty Acres and neighboring Maine farms.

Our Story
Our journey into alpaca farming was serendipitous. On frequent drives past a small alpaca farm while visiting family, my wife and I became curious about these fascinating animals. After learning more at a local fair and visiting various alpaca farms, we discovered the joys and values of alpaca farming. When our favorite local alpaca farm announced they were selling their alpacas, we seized the opportunity and began our own alpaca farming adventure.
Farming Alpacas
Alpaca farming is both rewarding and relaxing. Each alpaca has a unique personality, and the excitement of breeding for elite fleece, color, and genetics is unmatched. Our expansive barn, with pastures connected on three sides, allows us to efficiently care for our alpacas. Our family, especially our nieces, have become integral to the farm, handling everything from cleaning to training and showing the alpacas.
We love sharing our passion with visitors during open farm days and are always eager to educate anyone interested in alpacas. Our services include alpaca breeding, sales, and fiber products, with excellent support and follow-up for our customers. We welcome you to visit, learn, and perhaps even start your own alpaca journey.
