Important Information

​​

This experience is a unique opportunity to join us on the farm and help us out with all of the jobs that we need to do on the farm that day.

​

Perhaps you're an aspiring alpaca farmer, or simply wanting a unique morning out.

 

Spending time outside in nature, in the presence of animals has many proven health benefits and it's also lovely to meet these beautiful, curious creatures up close.​

What To Expect​

​​

​​​​On arrival we'll give you a Health & Safety Briefing and a tour of the farm facilities.

 

We'll then venture off to do our daily animal rounds together (including feeding the herd, topping up their hay and water and observing the herd).

 

We will then do some poo picking (part of our daily routine). Depending on the tasks at hand that day, we may also need to administer medication, conduct health checks, clean water troughs, or similar.

 

We'll have a lunch break in the middle of the day, so bring your packed lunch and help yourself to a nice complimentary hot drink.
