Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ANIMALS

Award‑winning alpacas and a friendly menagerie

Eagle Eye is home to its champion alpacas alongside eight other species, totaling roughly 100 animals. Guests can enter pens and have guided, up‑close encounters to feed, touch and observe the animals in a natural farm setting.

THE PLACE

A clean, walkable family farm

The farm markets itself as exceptionally clean, set on an 11‑acre, woman‑owned family property that was named the #1 farm in the country against farms its size for the last two years. Although outdoors, the grounds are described as very walkable and wheelchair‑friendly.

THE EXPERIENCE

Interactive, educational, animal‑first visits

Tours are staffed by friendly, knowledgeable guides who explain how the alpacas earn awards and championships. While guests have opportunities to interact with animals, the farm emphasizes animal comfort and does not guarantee every guest will hold or handle a specific animal.

What the day feels like

What the visit feels like

The public guided tour runs about 60–90 minutes at your own pace. Expect a relaxed circuit of the property led by staff: an introduction to the champions, close‑up time inside select pens, and chances to meet llamas, sheep, pigs, cows, goats, bunnies and chickens. Staff balance hands‑on visitor access with the farm’s top priority—animal welfare—so interactions are encouraged when animals are comfortable.
