Meet Alpacas, Guinea Pigs, Donkeys, and much more!

Your experience will start in our visitors' barn with an introduction to Alpacas, fleeces, breeding programs, and what we have set out to achieve at the farm. You will then be taken to meet our fluffy friends and harness up your own alpaca.

We will then go for a very leisurely stroll around the land with Norman, Jon Snow, Dark Knight, or anyone or our herd. There will be a great opportunity for a photoshoot and those all-important "selfies". Meet our 2020 cria and watch them play. Once we have the Alpacas back in their paddocks you will be able to meet the other residents starting with;

• Our cheeky pygmy goats, always full of fun, and their newborn kids
• The pigs -throw them a carrot or two
• The strange and curious Valais Blacknose sheep
• Guinea pigs
• 20 plus chickens including Silkys, Polands, and "bog-standard" layers.
• Our turkey who is SO pleased Christmas is over!
• Our miniature Donkeys

There will be an opportunity to feed all of the animals and meet them up close.

Visit the farm shop and view our quality alpaca products.

Finally sit, relax, and enjoy the views with a drink and snack from the NEW ALPACA COFFEE SHACK.

After our guided tour feels free to stick around to spend longer watching the animals as we return to normal farm duties……yes feeding and shoveling poop!.
