Island Alpaca Farm
A herd of alpacas in a meadow on Martha's Vineyard, live from a working island farm — barn at four.
About this view
A live webcam on the meadow at Island Alpaca, a working farm in Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard, the island off Cape Cod. Alpacas are the small, woolly camelids of the Andes, bred for fleece rather than burden, and a herd of them behaves like a slow, curious crowd — grazing in a loose group, staring at anything new, humming to each other.
The frame is the herd at pasture: grazing, dust-bathing, the occasional spat that ends as fast as it starts, and crias — the youngsters — sticking close to their mothers in spring and summer. Shearing day, late spring, turns the whole herd into a different set of animals overnight.
The herd is in the meadow through the day and heads back to the barn around 4 pm (UTC−5, −4 in summer), after which the field stands empty until morning. Summer is when the island fills and the farm is busiest; winter is quiet and often snowy.
