The Year Ahead 2024

School Educational Tours Available: Contact us for details.
Did you know we offer field trips to the farm? While we may not be quite big enough to host a large public school, we have been hosting educational field trips for small schoools, home schools, and charter schools. We've hosted 2nd grade Spanish class from our local charter school. We've hosted several homeschool groups and have had Davidson Green School here to learn about sustainability in farming and fiber. We've even helped Scouts work on their animal badge! Contact us to see if we'd be a good fit for your educational event.
Backpack Program Canned Food Drive: February 25, 2024
This is our 2nd annual canned food/toilteries drive for our local high school, East Lincoln High. It came to our attention last year that they have a need for canned/boxed food and toiletries for their Backpack Program. This program provides a backpack full of food on Friday afternoons to students that are in need for the weekend. Our son is a student there and wanted to help. We're all in!

Chika's 20th Birthday Bash: May 26, 2024
Join us to celebrate our matriarch, our OG! No formal tour on this day. Just alpaca interaction, feeding, pics/videos and FUN!
Each slot is 45 minutes long and includes enjoying the alpacas, kid craft, fully outside, and the store will be open as well.
Kids 3 and under are free. No need to book them a ticket.
We’ve had some questions about what gifts Chika would love. Your attendance is gift enough! Here’s why. We have decided that 5% of all profits from this celebration (tickets and farm store sales) will be donated to National Alpaca Foundation’s Dawn Stewart Memorial Scholarship supporting large animal veterinary students committed to including camelids in their future practice. You don’t turn 20 without excellent care!
National Alpaca Farm Day: September 28 & 29, 2024
In celebration of National Alpaca Farm Day, we will offer alpaca viewing at 9am, 11am, 1pm, and 3pm. Come by to learn about alpacas and shop in The Farm Store. This will not be our standard tour, but you will be able to interact with and feed the alpacas. We will have a few of our artist/maker friends on site as well for your shopping enjoyment. Come out and shop small and take pictures with the alpacas.
