About Alpacas as a Business

Have you considered alpacas?

Alpacas are one of the easiest animals to raise in a group. They are gentle and don't need a lot of care. They are calm and easy to handle, so they're good for new farmers or those with less experience. Alpacas graze efficiently and don't damage pastures much, which is good for the land.

You can learn a lot by visiting a farm that has alpacas. You can learn about what they eat, where they live, how to keep them healthy, and how to take care of them in general. You can also see how alpacas act, how they interact with each other, and what products can be made from their fleece, like yarn and textiles.

Visiting a farm can also show you what you need to set up an alpaca farm, like fences, shelters, and handling areas. Talking to experienced alpaca farmers can give you good advice on how to keep these lovely animals healthy and productive.

Why should I visit an alpaca farm?

Visiting an alpaca farm is a fun, relaxing, and educational way to connect with nature, meet gentle animals up close, and create lasting memories with friends or family.

What makes alpaca farm tours unique?

Unlike traditional petting zoos, alpaca farms offer personal, hands-on experiences like feeding, walking alpacas, and learning about their care and fiber—all in a peaceful, rural setting.

How does my visit support the farm?

Every tour, purchase, or event helps small farms care for their animals, sustain ethical farming practices, and continue offering meaningful community experiences.

Activities may include guided tours, hand-feeding alpacas, photo opportunities, walking an alpaca, browsing a farm store, and even enjoying a peaceful picnic or celebration.

Yes! Tours are packed with fun facts about alpaca behavior, care, and fiber production. Many farms also offer workshops or “Farmer for a Day” programs to inspire future farmers and fiber artists.
