Compassionate luxury from our farm to your feet.

American Made Alpaca is a small, woman‑owned business rooted at Lilymoore Farm in New York’s Hudson Valley. We care for a lovable herd of alpacas (and run a rescued pigeon sanctuary), then partner with American mills and makers to turn premium alpaca fiber into everyday gear that works hard—especially our best‑selling socks.

The short version

  • Ethically raised animals. Real farm. Real names. Real care.
  • American made products. We send our fiber to U.S. mills and also participate in a domestic fiber pool so our goods are made from alpaca raised here in the USA.
  • Built for long days. Naturally moisture‑wicking, temperature‑regulating, and comfortable—ideal for people on their feet all day.

Our story

Hi, I’m Diana—farm owner, animal advocate, and person who thinks comfort should have a conscience.

Lilymoore Farm started as a dream to create a peaceful, ethical place for animals and humans alike. Over the years, our herd has grown, our community has grown, and so did a simple idea: make beautifully practical things from fiber we’re proud of.

That’s how American Made Alpaca was born. We pair the softness of alpaca with the craftsmanship of American mills to create gear you’ll actually live in. Every purchase helps us care for the herd and keep our farm experiences open to the public.

A note about the pigeons: Our farm is also a sanctuary for rescued pigeons. It’s a quirky part of our story—and one we’re deeply proud of. Your orders help feed more than just alpacas.

What we make (and why)

We focus on utility‑driven alpaca goods you can count on:

  • Alpaca socks for work boots, hiking, and long shifts
  • Cozy accessories—hats, gloves, scarves
  • Yarn and gifts for the fiber‑curious

Why alpaca? It’s naturally moisture‑wicking, breathable, and odor‑resistant. It helps keep feet dry in summer and warm in winter—without the itch. That’s why our socks are favorites for welders, landscapers, nurses, delivery drivers, warehouse crews, and anyone who logs serious steps.

How our products are made

We believe transparency is part of the luxury. Here’s the real‑world process:

  1. Farm & fiber: We shear our own herd annually and submit fiber to a U.S. alpaca fiber pool, which combines our fiber with other American‑raised alpaca. This ensures consistent quality and enough volume to make the products you love.
  2. American mills: We partner with small domestic mills and makers who know alpaca, inside and out.
  3. Thoughtful design: We field‑test products here on the farm (and with friends who work on their feet) so comfort and durability come first.

For the ones who get it done

If you live in your boots, you know: little things make long days better. Our socks are designed to help you forget your feet and focus on the job.

Why crews love them:

  • Stay drier, longer. Alpaca moves moisture away from skin.
  • Comfort without bulk. Cushioned where it counts; no swampy heat.
  • Less stink, less fuss. Alpaca resists odors naturally.
  • American made. Your purchase supports a family farm and U.S. mills.

Ethics & sustainability

Animal welfare first. Our animals are part of our family, not a production line.

Low‑impact fiber. Alpaca is biodegradable and needs less processing than many fibers.

Made to last. Durable goods that stay out of landfills and in your drawer.

Meet Diana (Founder)

I believe things we wear should feel good and do good. When I’m not shipping orders or at the store, you’ll find me with the alpacas—usually telling them how handsome they are. Thanks for supporting a small farm that cares deeply about animals, people, and craft.

Frequently asked questions

Are your socks 100% alpaca?
Most alpaca socks include a small amount of nylon/elastic for stretch and longevity. That blend helps them last longer in real‑world use.

Do you make everything on the farm?
We partner with American mills to produce our goods. Our fiber is combined with other U.S. alpaca through a fiber pool to ensure quality and consistency.

How do I care for alpaca socks?
Machine wash cold, gentle cycle; lay flat to dry. Treat them well and they’ll treat you well.

I work double shifts. Will these help?
That’s exactly why we make them—dry, comfortable feet through long days and rough weather.
