Your farm visit begins with a meet up and quick safety briefing on how to interact with the Alpacas and Goats. Then it's off to the chicken yard where you’ll get a hands-on experience with our girls. We’ll talk about the rewards of raising backyard chickens. Collect some eggs to take with you so you can have the freshest, most nutritious, delicious breakfast ever! Next we'll visit the goats. The goats will come when called and eat leaves from our hands. Everyone will have treats to offer the goats. There will be ample opportunity for pics all along the way. We'll then set off to our fluffy friends. Alpaca are gentle, friendly, wonderful creatures. You will be amazed at their incredible soft fleece and their large, expressive eyes which seem to exhibit both wisdom and childlike curiosity. Depending on time of day and the weather you may help bring alpaca to their fields to graze or help feed them their daily grain. Guests are welcome to go into the enclosures and interact with the Alpacas and Goats. All will be able to participate in farming activities which may include feeding, moving, or milking. Final stop will be at our farm store where you will have the opportunity to purchase some of our farm products.
Trekking and walking an alpaca with us as your guide is included in your paid tour. The trek provides time for you to learn about our alpacas, walk, feed, cozy up and get personal with your alpaca!
Selfies encouraged!
We only allow up to 4 trekkers in the walking group to ensure the safety and care of our alpacas and trekkers. Age required: at least 7 years of age. The distance is half mile. Closed toed shoes, hiking boots in the winter and muddy season a good idea, appropriate dress for walk. Most of our trekking is an easy slow paced walk on even level ground to slightly sloped. The property also has hills and inclines that some may find a little challenging.

We called it Farm Therapy - - One of the many ways we keep from despairing [about the world] is doing this farming thing. There's a lot of peace in reducing our footprint and living our values. Eating our homegrown foods, enjoying nature, raising our animals, and most importantly learning new stuff everyday, and if we screw up it's OK...we're having the best time trying our very best to be farmers.
