Welcome
Welcome to Barnacre Alpacas run by Debbie and Paul Rippon.
Originally townies from the housing estates of Nottingham with a cat from the RSPCA! We’ve left our office jobs and after a lot of learning, help and hard work we have built a farm from scratch and now have around 400 alpacas! We breed and sell friendly champion alpacas in Northumberland and use their fleeces to make beautiful hand made knitwear which you can buy at our online shop or at our alpaca farm if you come on one of our walk n talks. Whether you’re new to alpacas or an established owner, we’d like to invite you to come along and see our herd, by appointment only please, and find out why we love alpacas!
