A Day in the Life of Our Beloved Alpacas

Behind the Scenes with Our Herd

Ever wondered what life is like for our alpacas when they’re not stealing the hearts of guests? Here’s your behind-the-scenes look at a day in the life of our herd.

At sunrise, the alpacas are already up, grazing quietly in the mist-covered paddocks. Each one has their own personality. Bobby is our curious leader, while Daisy loves a back scratch and keeps close to her bestie, Mocha.

Morning Routine

After their morning health check and hay delivery, they get ready for guest arrival. They instinctively know when it’s brunch time—lining up at the gate with those irresistible eyes.

Once guests arrive, it’s time for the highlight: hand-feeding. Lucerne chaff and alpaca pellets are favourites! Our alpacas are gentle and used to children and visitors with special needs. It’s a therapeutic and joy-filled experience for all involved.

Afternoon Adventures

Once the guests depart, the herd rests, sunbathes, or rolls in the dust. They enjoy their downtime, which is essential for their well-being. After a good rest, they are then off to a fresh paddock as part of our sustainable grazing system. This practice helps maintain the health of the land and provides the alpacas with fresh grass to munch on.

Evening Relaxation

From sunrise to sundown, their days are relaxed, enriching, and full of connection—just how we like it. As the sun sets, the alpacas gather together, enjoying each other's company. They often engage in playful antics, showcasing their unique personalities.

The Importance of Connection

The bond between our alpacas and guests is truly special. Interacting with these gentle creatures can bring joy and comfort. It’s not just about feeding them; it’s about creating memories and connections that last a lifetime.

Conclusion

In conclusion, a day in the life of our alpacas is filled with love, care, and connection. They thrive in an environment that respects their needs and allows them to flourish. If you’re looking for a unique experience, come visit us and see for yourself the magic of our alpacas.
