Step away from the noise and into a quiet pasture near Heber City where Wasatch Back Alpacas offers a deliberately intimate, educational visit. Over an hour or two you’ll meet calm, curious alpacas, learn how their fleece becomes yarn, have the chance to feed and—when weather allows—take a guided walk, and finish by browsing a small farm store of yarn and handmade goods.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE HERD

Meet, touch and feed friendly alpacas

The core of the visit is hands-on time with the animals: introductions to their gentle personalities, opportunities to feed them, and close-up moments that make the farm feel personal and peaceful.

THE FIBER

See how fleece becomes luxury yarn

Guided explanations cover how alpaca fiber is processed and why it’s often compared to silk or cashmere, giving context to the yarn and roving available in the shop.

THE SHOP

Cozy farm-store finds made from the herd

Visits conclude with time to browse a small farm store stocked with alpaca yarn, roving, apparel and handmade gifts crafted from the animals you just met.

What the day feels like

What the visit feels like

The pace is unhurried and intentionally small-scale: a short, focused visit that blends a basic introduction to care and fiber with hands-on interaction—feeding, photos in the pasture with mountain views, and, weather permitting, a guided alpaca walk—followed by browsing the farm’s yarn and gifts.
