    A MUST do adventure

    Lucia_A, May 2024
    The day we reserved for visiting was actually a shearing day but the owners invited us to come see the process instead of having the full tour. My partner and I do not regret accepting their invite to see how it works. We learned the steps that come before shearing day, the process day of, and finally the next step of processing the wool. The alpacas were darling to observe and all of the people part of shearing day were all exceptionally friendly. A huge thank you to the owners for letting us come visit on what is a high stress day that requires lots of attention and all hands on deck. The next time we visit the region we are most definitely returning for the full tour. If you have the oportunity to go I highly recommend it.

    Me and my sis enjoyed ourself. Very educational, humor and personable people/family/staff. A must if you’re an animal lover. And can’t forget Snowfall/ball don’t get me.

    Great tour!

    I took four adults and a five year old on a tour of the Al paca farm and mill and we all had a great time! The owners are welcoming hosts. We learned so much about fiber processing and loved meeting the animals. Beautiful shop of mill-made goods at the end of the tour. Definitely recommend this experience.
