 Alpacas at Crossroads Ranch, located in Paso Robles since 2001, is a family operation with 80 huacaya alpacas grazing at pasture in Paso's picturesque vineyard covered foothills. We're just off Creston Road, a quick 10 minutes from Atascadero, Templeton and Paso Robles.
We breed for soft, fine luxurious huacaya alpaca fiber in a full range of natural colors.
Our gift shop carries ALPACA fashions and home decor, plus craft kits, made locally, made in the U.S. and imported from South America.
Award Winning Herdsires: Black, White, Brown and Grey. Ask us about "drive to" breeding program.
We teach about natural fiber and how to take raw fleece to wearable and usable end products. Come see and participate in our Fiber Barn activities!
