ON-LINE SHOPPING YEAR ROUND:
Please browse our On-Line Store for alpaca yarn, alpaca socks, alpaca gloves, alpaca scarves, alpaca hats, and alpaca duvets.

Our On-Line Store accepts payment with PayPal or a credit card. (You do not need a PayPal account). If you prefer to make payment with Interac e-transfer, you may place your order through email or telephone.

We ship our items all over!

Of course, if you live close by and you prefer to look at our merchandise in person, please call ahead to make arrangements to ensure that someone is here to assist you.

We are also in the midst of redesigning our website to give it a more updated look. We had hoped to launch it much earlier this year but the project has turned out to be larger than we thought.  Please be patient with us as we finalize the finishing touches!

SHIPPING:
We ship using Canada Post Expedited to destinations in Canada and Canada Post Small or Tracked Packet to destinations in the US and abroad and will endeavor to ship your order within 2 business days of receiving it.  Some orders of yarns or rovings may take a little longer. Once your order is shipped, you will receive a tracking number so that you can monitor the status of shipping.

To determine Canada Post delivery times from our location to your address, click here to use the Canada Post Delivery Standards tool by entering your postal code. Our postal code is L0S 1M0.

A word on shipping rates....  Please note that shipping rates have sky rocketed in recent years due to high fuel surcharges that postal services and couriers apply to each package we ship.  We have kept our shipping rates the same as last year and we endeavor to search for the least costly shipping method while ensuring reliable service.  Since we are a small family business offering only superior quality Made in Canada items or other fair trade items from Peru rather than things manufactured cheaply with questionable employment practices in the third world or China, our margins are very small so we cannot offer the free or discounted shipping rates that the big box stores and amazon do.

CURBSIDE PICK-UP:
We offer "veranda" pickup for our local customers so you can save on the shipping charges. Rather than placing your order through our website where shipping charges will be applied automatically, please call or email us your order and we will set up a mutually agreed upon appointment for pick-up (to ensure that I am here when you come).

EXCHANGES AND RETURNS:
We hope that you are pleased with your purchases! Exchanges or refunds are permitted for unworn or unused items with the original label.  If you would like to return or exchange an item purchased during our Christmas season, please contact us at alpacas@moorehouse.ca or 905-892-8252 to make arrangements for your exchange or return.  Shipping costs are not refundable.

All exchanges and returns must be made before January 15, 2025.

FARM VISITS
Our barn doors will be open to visitors where you can meet our alpacas in person the weekend of November 16-17, 2024.  See them pronk and play - they may even eat from your hand!  Learn about alpacas and see what we do with their luxurious fibre.

Visiting with our alpacas MAY be possible on other weekends during our Christmas season; we'll try to accomodate you where possible.  Email us or call ahead to book a visit.  905-892-8252.

Regrettably, farm visits are not available Monday - Friday during our Christmas season.

Welcome to Moore House Fine Alpacas, an alpaca breeding farm located in picturesque Niagara, Ontario!


Our Beginnings...

A desire to end the hectic pace of the corporate lifestyle, coupled with wishing to spend more quality family time, gave rise to Moore House Fine Alpacas a number of years ago.  We were smitten with alpacas at our first introduction and have never looked back since our alpaca adventures began.  Alpacas, with their luxuriously soft fibre, endearing personalities, and undemanding care were the perfect choice for a small acreage like ours.

At Moore House, you'll enjoy a wide selection of reasonably priced huacaya double and single registered breeding stock , award winning alpacas, as well as fibre and hobby alpacas ideally suited for first-time purchasers, with the peace of mind that comes from dealing with a farm committed to integrity and breeding excellence.  You will receive plenty of personal attention and mentoring that our small farm is noted for, both before and after sales.  As huge believers in education, we regularly attend seminars and workshops about alpacas and readily share best practices and tips for success with our clients. Your success is our success!


Bloodlines We Offer...

We carry some of the finest genetics you can acquire, including champion bloodlines from CPeruvian Daniel, DPO Lexus, Victor's Vaccoyo, Alpamayo, Hemingway, Jolimont Peruvian Pauco, PPeruvian Guellermo, Batido, Peruvian Desperado, CPeruvian Timo, Peruvian Condor, and other high impact bloodlines.  As each cria season comes to a close, we are delighted with the results of our breeding program.  We invite you to browse our alpacas for sale and contact us if any of our quality alpacas catch your eye.


Our Approach to Alpaca Handling...

Moore House is a small alpaca farm that is big on quality.  We make a point of never losing sight of our love for our alpacas.  You can be confident that each of our alpacas is calm, approachable, and can lead well since we use Camelidynamics@ techniques for interacting with them.  When you visit, you will see the benefits of our approach!  Take a walk in our pasture and you are sure to find a girl or boy you just can't resist!


Moore House Alpaca YarnAlpaca Fibre Industry

At Moore House, we recognize that a strong alpaca fibre industry underpins the long term success of alpaca commerce and that alpaca breeding and the fibre industry are intimately linked.

Catherine has become known in alpaca circles as highly knowledgeable about alpaca fleece, particularly since embarking on the journey to become a fully certified Camelid Fibre Sorter/Grader through the certification program offered by Old's College, Alberta.  As an apprentice Sorter/Grader, Catherine travels the country side to numerous alpaca farms during the shearing season to sort and grade fleeces for other alpaca owners.

We are excited that a growing number of people are becoming aware of the luxurious qualities of alpaca and are seeking out apparel and products for home that boast Canadian alpaca.  As a person who enjoys engaging her "artsy" side through knitting, spinning, felting, dyeing, as well as designing, Catherine is happy to share her knowledge of fibre quality to prospective clients.
