Alpacas possess a unique combination of very special qualities that suit both the serious breeder and/or the lifestyler. They are gentle inquisitive animals - all with individual personalities. Each year they produce luxuriously soft fleece ideal for spinning, felting, weaving and knitting, and for sale to manufacturers. Alpacas are effective nutrient converters and are extremely environmentally friendly with minimal impact on fragile ecosystems.
Clifden Farm is an exclusive breeder of black huacaya alpacas, producing top quality fleece through superior genetics and exceptional care. Our picturesque West Gippsland location in the foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges provides the ideal climate mix to produce outstanding animals. We are members of the Australian Alpaca Association and all our stunning black alpacas are listed on the International Alpaca Register.
The following links will provide further confirmation that alpacas really do fit the bill as the ideal choice for small scale farming. Alpacas are a pleasure to own and manage, providing a source of endless wonder - and it can even be done by the first-time farmer!
Our animals produce fabulous fleece which we have expertly processed in Australia. Luxury black or cocoa black yarn in both 4py and 8ply is available right here online from the Clifden Farm Shop. We also have gorgeous grey yarn - achieved by milling our own black fibre with a small quantity of high quality white. All of the yarn sold under the Clifden label is 100% pure Australian alpaca, all natural with never any chemical dyes added.
Clifden Alpacas is proud to have written and published 2 children's alpaca books 'Archie the Black Alpaca: Archie's Haircut', and 'Archie's Big Win'. The books are beautifully illustrated in full colour with soft covers. They are wonderful read aloud stories for young children, and/or interesting tales for early readers to practise their skills. We know that both children and adults are delighted by the stories and sympathetic illustrations of alpacas and farm life in general.
