How We Got Our Start
We started our dream of owning alpacas at the start of the first pandemic lockdown when we were furloughed and realised what we were currently doing wasn’t fulfilling us. We have always been animal lovers and one day my dad brought up how alpaca trekking was growing in popularity. It was like something clicked, and here we are! We have a lovely small herd of 12 boys who love to go on walks and get lots of attention (along with some carrots🥕)!
