Educational Opportunities
We have some fantastic learning experiences coming up! We will be offering a variety of seminars and will begin posting a series of videos covering some of the basics of Alpaca Husbandry. These videos will be posted on our site as they become available. We hope you will find them interesting and educational.
If you are an alpaca owner, interested in becoming an alpaca owner, or someone interested in learning more about alpacas and alpaca fiber, we are here for you.
We currently offer farm visits and facility visits for students, organizations and individuals at our Visitor Center. We can schedule visits to meet your needs and level of interest, or stop by during our regular business hours to meet the alpacas and see their luxurious fiber and the products manufactured from alpaca fiber.
We are here to provide organized tours or to just "talk alpaca."
