Located in the heart of Forgottonia (just 10 min. from the Governor's headquarters), Little Creek Alpacas is home to 45+ suri and huacaya alpacas in Plymouth, IL. Little Creek Alpacas was born out of a great love for animals, and a desire to become more self-sufficient and raise our children in a more spiritual setting. We chose alpacas over other livestock because they are docile, earth friendly, and produce a wonderful, luxurious fiber that is better than cashmere. Our focus in raising our herd is on good health, fabulous fiber, and producing an array of natural colors to choose from. We currently sell breeding stock and fiber/pet suri and huacaya alpacas, as well as a wide variety of products made from their fiber.

Our alpaca fiber is harvested harm free, and our alpacas are ethically raised and greatly loved. We strive to create unique products through felting, knitting, crochet, and weaving, as well as supply fiber artists with raw & carded fiber, batt blends, and yarns. Some of our yearly fiber harvest is sent to the New England Alpaca Fiber Pool, where it is combined with other US alpaca farms' fiber, and made into various products for us (mostly our socks, gloves, fingerless gloves, and insoles).

I have a hard time getting all of our alpaca products listed online, but always have our alpaca socks, fingerless gloves, and most of our gloves listed at all times. It takes a long time to photograph products and list them, but the items above don't really ever change so they're always listed. My goal in 2025 is to resurrect our Etsy shop, and get better about listing ALL of our alpaca products online - fiber grab bags, felting kits, alpaca batt blends, hand-spun & mill-spun yarns, felted turtles & dolls, hand knit infinity scarves, neck gators, ear bands, hats, etc.

Sun., May 4th 1pm-5pm - Season Grand Opening

Follow our Facebook page for pop-up events. I plan on doing a few felting classes on the farm this spring/summer when the weather is nice. From May through October you can find me at the Macomb Farmers Market in Chandler Park every Saturday (weather permitted), and hopefully most Thursdays in 2025 too. Please note, the 1st two weekends of October I am always set up at Native Trails Winery in Lewistown, IL for Spoon River Drive.
