Meet the Alpacas: Origins, Care, and Sustainability
The visit begins with a Q&A that explains where alpacas come from, why they’re raised locally, how they’re cared for year-round, and why their fiber is a sustainable material for clothing and accessories.
Hands-On Feeding: Get Up Close
After the introductory session, guests feed alpacas by hand, an intimate, low‑stress interaction with animals noted as gentle and safe to be around.
Browse the Farm Store and Stretch the Legs on Trails
Finish the programmed interaction in the farm store among alpaca-made clothing, then stay on to hike the property’s scenic trails, cross the creek via a suspension bridge, or picnic in the welcome barn or at wooded tables.
