Melford Green Alpacas

In the heart of rolling countryside made famous by the artists Gainsborough and Constable and an area once renowned for the quality of its wool, Melford Green have established one of the finest alpaca herds within Britain.

Alpaca fleece is the epitome of modern day luxury combining supreme softness and warmth. It is also light and hypo-allergenic. At Melford Green our alpaca breeding programme aims to improve the quality of this wondrous fleece still further and so help define UK alpaca.

Melford Green is committed to first class animal welfare and sustainable farming techniques. We also support local business within Suffolk.

Specially selected breeding females, companion alpacas and also pet alpacas are now available for sale. Please browse through our website for details of these animals.
