We have transitioned to an online booking process for farm visits to help Farmer Bill maintain his sanity and mellow demeanor. The paid reservation should be a fee similar to past donation-based operations. OUR FARM IS SUPPORTED BY YOUR VISIT FEE, GENEROUS DONATIONS, AND SHOPPING IN OUR FARM STORE. PLEASE HELP US KEEP IT THIS WAY!
All farm visits must be booked using the online system. For other activities, such as shopping-only visits and special events, please call us to set a time or to discuss your needs. (860) 204-1646. We can also be reached by messaging or email for general inquiries.
We will be adding other activity types to booking as the capability is released by Openherd. Alpacas Yoga, Camp Fire (BYO) Happy Hours, and Alpaca Trekking are possibilities.
Take a break from the hustle and bustle and visit our picturesque little farm tucked away in the charming town of Chester! We are a small but mighty alpaca farm that focuses on making your farm visit the best stop of the day. Our six handsome boys and nine beautiful girls are eager to meet you.
Your farm tour will start with an introduction to our herd. They all have names and personalities. Some have stories to be told. Learn the fun facts about alpacas, their origin, history, and alpaca farming here in the USA. Farmer Bill will answer all of your questions. Safely interact with the animals, up close and personal. You are welcome to bring a picnic lunch and spend some time relaxing.
Before you depart, stop in our farm store, Pacatique. We carry an extensive collection of alpaca clothing accessories, including hats, scarves, shawls, mittens, gloves, socks, and some cozy throws. We have alpaca-themed toys for kids young and old. We also have yarn made from our animals’ fiber in various natural colors for the knitter!
