About Mid-Atlantic Alpaca Association (MaPaca)

MaPaca is a cooperative group of alpaca breeders in the Mid-Atlantic states of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. We are a diverse group with herd sizes ranging from 2 to over 200 alpacas. On our farms you will find some of the most exquisite alpacas in the world in a natural rainbow of colors. We have hundreds of huacayas and suris representing some of the most well-established bloodlines in the country with over 4 generations of successful, documented reproductive history! Combine this with the recent addition of exciting new breeding stock imported from Peru, Bolivia, and Chile and you have a tremendous selection to begin your foundation herd or add that missing element to your existing herd.

Our commitment to education, support, and quality, forms the foundation on which a new breeder can build and thrive. We can answer the questions that you already have and guide you towards the questions you should be asking. Raising alpacas is an exciting and rewarding journey and we look forward to helping you on your way.

You will find MaPaca breeders to be hospitable and extremely knowledgeable, although often understated. We come from all walks of life and are bound by a passion for these magnificent creatures. Come visit our farms and see our fleecy treasures. Experience some of our famous MaPaca hospitality ... we promise you'll be more relaxed, more knowledgeable, and just a little dreamy-eyed.
