At Iris Lodge Alpacas, we don’t just farm — we care, we nurture, and we regenerate. Tucked away on the beautiful NSW Central Coast, our farm is more than a place to meet alpacas, llamas, and other friendly animals. It’s a living, breathing example of how tourism and farming can work hand-in-hand to heal the land.
Regenerative Farming: Our Foundation
Regenerative farming is at the core of what we do. It’s not just a buzzword for us — it’s a commitment. We focus on practices that improve the health of our land. From rotational grazing that gives our paddocks time to recover to composting and planting native trees, every decision we make is about giving back to the earth more than we take.
Commitment to Biodiversity
We have removed invasive plant species and encouraged biodiversity on our farm. Our efforts have created a haven for local wildlife. This means that all creatures, big and small, can thrive in a balanced ecosystem.
Our animals are not just production stock; they are beloved pets. Their wellbeing is deeply connected to the health of the land they live on. We see them as part of the larger family that inhabits our farm.
Ecotourism and Community Engagement
We’re proud to be Ecotourism Australia certified. Every guest who visits us plays an important part in our journey. When you feed our alpacas or enjoy brunch in the paddocks, you’re supporting sustainable, community-driven agriculture with purpose and heart.
Additionally, by participating in these activities, you are helping to promote awareness of sustainable practices. This connection reinforces the idea that eco-friendly tourism is beneficial not just for the farm but for the entire community.
The Benefits of Regenerative Agriculture
Regenerative agriculture offers numerous benefits. It helps to restore soil health, increase water retention, and sequester carbon. These practices contribute to climate change mitigation and promote a healthy environment.
Our commitment to regeneration ensures that we leave a thriving ecosystem for future generations. It fosters a responsible approach to farming. By choosing methods that heal, we not only uplift our land but also inspire others to do the same.
Join Us in Our Mission
We believe that everyone can be part of the solution. Visitors at Iris Lodge Alpacas can learn about the importance of sustainable practices while enjoying memorable experiences.
By embracing this way of farming, we aim to educate others about the potential of regenerative practices. We invite everyone to experience this for themselves. You might even discover your passion for eco-friendly farming!
Together, we can create a better future — one paddock at a time.
