Alpacas & Fiber
Earth-friendly livestock
White Violet Farm Alpacas (WVFA) is a ministry of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana (near Terre Haute). This nonprofit is helping support programs of ecological justice education, organic agriculture and fiber education.
From WVFA you will learn all you need to know about using your fiber and get alpacas with quality bloodlines. Volunteer with us to learn hands-on the ins and outs of alpaca farming.
To schedule your personal farm visit today, call or email us at 812-535-2933 or wvctours@spsmw.org.
Adopt an Alpaca

A virtual alpaca adoption makes a great gift for yourself or for a loved one. It’s perfect for animal lovers and for those people who seem to have everything. And when you adopt an alpaca with us, you are also supporting a great cause by helping to care for the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods White Violet Center alpacas. We so appreciate your support.
