Lavender Hill Farm Alpacas

Lavender Hill Farm, owned by Kevin and Paulette Batchek, is surrounded by the beautiful Pachaug State Forest in the rural town of Voluntown, Connecticut. We started the farm in 2006 with three Huacaya alpacas. Now our farm has grown to 19 alpacas! We strive for quality in our alpacas' conformation and fleece characteristics. Keeping our alpacas' health and well-being our top priority, we are rewarded with a healthy herd of alpacas with superior fiber.

A Look Back at the Birth of Mellea

Mellea came into this world on June 20, 2010, Father's Day! Her Dam is Sabrina (black) and her sire is Avalon's Peruvian Polaris (white).

Just minutes after birth.

All the alpacas are in line to greet her!

She's all dried off and is up checking things out. She is a pattern, light fawn and white.

Here she's getting that very important colostrum.

Look at those cute feet!

Mellea has grown and grown over the past months!

This is Mellea at three months of age.
