Tips for visiting an alpaca farm
- Book first. Most farms are private homes with daily chores; many schedule visits in the afternoon.
- Go in spring for shearing days and new crias, or in fall for cooler weather and fresh fleece products.
- Let the alpacas come to you. They are curious but shy; slow movements and an open hand with feed work best.
- Leave dogs at home and follow the farm's biosecurity rules, especially if you keep livestock yourself.
- Thinking of buying? Ask about herd health records, registration and mentoring. Read who buys alpacas and the financial side of raising alpacas first.
