10 Farms in New Mexico That You Shouldn't Miss

Hollywick Farms is a working alpaca farm located at nearly 7,000 feet in the Sandia Mountains, just off the Turquoise Trail National Scenic Byway, a short drive from the majestic Sandia Crest , the Sandia Peak Ski Area, the Tinkertown Museum and the historic mining towns of Golden and Madrid. Get up close and personal with our alpacas and shop for luxurious products made from their fiber.

With great sadness, we must announce our upcoming closing. We are in the process of selling our alpacas, some who are national award winning while others are fine fiber animals. Packages considered as well as individual sales. White, brown, grey. Come visit a small working alpaca ranch just outside of Santa Fe. We would love to introduce you and your family to our herd of 11 alpacas (with two more due later in 2018), originally native to the mountains of South America. Known for their incredibly soft, warm, hypoallergenic fleece, these meek relatives of the camel give us fleece which we spin into yarn and woven into gorgeous rugs. As a former teacher, I love young visitors. Please call us to make an appointment to visit our animals plus see how we turn fleece into finished products. Ranch tours are free, Mon to Sat. In our shop we stock alpaca socks, yarn, hand knitted newborn booties, handmade scarves, dryer balls, cat balls, and our very popular alpaca felted hand crafted soaps.
