We are located a few kilometers outside of Wanganui town, next to the Whanganui river. We have been breeding alpacas for over 10 years and are the only stud farm between Bulls in the Manawatu and mid-Taranaki.
Farm Tours: We are pleased to offer an alpaca experience. For more details and to book your meeting with these wonderful animals, please go to this farm tours page.
Our on-going breeding program ensures that we will have a number of alpacas for sale each year. These animals are normally registered with the Alpaca Association of New Zealand but some unregistered pets may also be available.

Te Korito Alpacas currently has two resident stud males, Minffordd Dean (rose-grey) and Sunsetestate Bastille (dark brown). These males have brought fineness and density into our herd. Full details and photographs of these males can be found on the stud services page.

Alpaca fibre is a superior choice for home spinners and knitters. Te Korito Alpacas sell a range of knitted and crocheted items in unique designs which make either fantastic gifts or something to spoil yourself! We also sell fibre from our own animals, as carded slivers and spun fibre.
