Have you ever wondered the differences between alpacas and llamas? This is your chance to find out because we have both. Come experience what these animals have to offer beyond their amazing fiber. Suri alpacas are known for their luxurious, softer than cashmere fleece. Even their alpaca beans (poop) are referred to as alpaca gold, and is used for its plant enhancing properties. After the tour you will have the opportunity to see a wide selection of alpaca products in our farm store.
