BEND FARM FIELD GUIDE
Picnic Among the Floofs: A 90‑Minute Alpaca Interlude in Bend’s Pastures
Sit at your own table or blanket in a pastoral paddock for 90 minutes of food, drink, and curious alpacas — a compact, family‑friendly farm experience useful for couples, groups, and anyone chasing a lighthearted outdoor encounter.
Picnic Among the Floofs: A 90‑Minute Alpaca Interlude in Bend’s Pastures.
On a small alpaca farm outside Bend you are led into a grassy paddock, set at a picnic table or on a blanket, and handed a basket of food while a mellow pack of alpacas wanders through the pasture, sometimes approaching to be fed or cuddled and sometimes simply grazing as if maintaining the lawn. The Original Alpaca Picnic Experience is built around that uncomplicated pleasure — thoughtfully prepared food, animal company, and an hour‑and‑a‑half of calm on the grass.

Outing Highlights
A curated picnic — including accommodations for dietary needs
Each booking includes a whimsically prepared Paca Picnic basket from The Tumalo Coffeehouse, with options for kid’s baskets and a range of dietary accommodations when requested at booking.
Alpacas on the menu (not literally)
Hosts supply a bucket of alpaca food and a group of friendly alpacas that will alternate between curiosity and grazing; some may approach closely and beg for attention while others keep their distance, but all tend to brighten the mood.
Your picnic in a pasture
You are placed at your own picnic table or on a blanket in one of the farm’s paddocks or pastures — a simple, pastoral setting of grass and trees where the alpacas move freely around your group.
What the day feels like
How the Picnic Feels
The experience is compact and leisurely: you are seated in a pasture, served a prepared picnic basket and drinks, and left to eat, drink and watch as alpacas drift near to investigate or accept food from a provided bucket. It’s informal, social, and deliberately easy — an accessible outdoor interlude rather than a rigorous activity.
