Little Creek Farm operates one of the largest Huacaya alpaca breeding operations in the northeastern US at its location in northern Westchester County, NY. The 450-animal herd is focused on the production of elite-fleeced white animals for commercial textile applications. Most of the fleece sold from the farm is under 22 microns and a substantial fraction is under 18 microns, and most is used in fine quality home goods, knitwear and accessories. The alpacas at the farm are typically shorn in late April or early May of each year, with the fleece graded for processing as soon as it has been removed from the animal. While fleece is typically sold by the bale (200+ lbs) smaller amounts are made available to interested Hudson Valley region designers and processors during the months of June and July, before commercial sales are finalized.

Little Creek Farm works to employ climate beneficial farm management and husbandry practices with the support, advice and collaboration of organizations including the Watershed Agricultural Council and Fibershed. Little Creek also operates a sister ranch in Idaho, and is partnered with the Imperial Yarn company, which produces American grown and made products for the wholesale and retail textile marketplace.
