 Jenny and Martyn Ellwood-Wade farm about 100 huacaya alpacas on a farm overlooking the Hunua Ranges, close to Clevedon and half an hour from Auckland airport. Our main focus is breeding a line of high quality, fine, soft handling and lustrous jet black alpacas. We have been members of Alpaca Association New Zealand for over 10 years.  We welcome export enquiries.

We do have other colours bred both for their fibre and for use in our black breeding programme. We offer a full support alpaca sales service, Cuesta Care, in our local area. Alpacas are the perfect animals for the lifestyle block owner but we warn you they are addictive!

Cuesta Weave wholesales beautiful woven alpaca products to a number of outlets and offers a commission weaving service specialising in using alpaca yarn.  We have an on farm shop selling Cuesta Weave products made by Jenny and a small range of other carefully selected alpaca products.
