Lovely llama time :) - This is a great activity for people who have literally never interacted with llamas/alpacas haha! Learned lots. Didn't know they were so beautiful and had such distinct personalities! The hike was very manageable and even in cold weather it was very enjoyable. There is a nice designated photo opp as well, and a cute little farm shop.

Wonderful Llama /Alpaca meet/hike. Experience amazing creatures in serene setting with welcoming and knowledgeable guide - Spent a wonderful day with my teenage son exploring this peaceful and beautiful farm and surroundings, meeting an amazing array of llamas, alpacas, sheep, roosters, bunnies, and two very polite and welcoming donkeys! The guide was excellent and passionate in her explanations of all aspects of the farm and its inhabitants. The hike with the Llamas and Alpacas was scenic and memorable. The farm store is well appointed with some lovely mementos . The farm is clean and lovingly maintained — a real treat! I look forward to my next visit and will tell many people about this unique place and its special creatures.

This is a New York must-do! - Bottom line: you must experience this peaceful farm, the heart-lifting walk with an alpaca (goat or llama), the welcoming farm tour by Andrea and her family and the fresh outdoors. Kids. Adults. Everyone. Easy 1 1/2 mile walk, with one incline (it's not even a hill, just a little incline). You'll smile the whole time you are there!

Llama/Alpacarama - Really enjoyable afternoon learning about a working farm, producing fiber (don't call it wool!) from Llamas and the even-more-adorable alpacas. It's a family-run farm, and Andrea guided us to a fun group-grope with those beasts, including a few random goats and donkeys. The tour ends with a hike where every visitor gets their own llama or alpaca on a leash, and the animals are very amiable and easy to handle. Very family-friendly and worth your time.

Great time with the alpacas - We spent a lovely morning learning about the different animals on the farm and our son had the time of his life walking his alpaca. He's still talking about it. One of the highlights of our vacation for sure!

alpacas cute , andrya not - llama/alpaca walk pros:animals were very friendly and sweet! some were soft. beautiful scenery and something fun to do. educational cons: andrya was quite rude. didn’t greet us even when we came inside to check in. kept trying to force adults to pay attention to her when they were clearly disinterested. very demeaning tone to certain ppl when asking questions. one moment everyone noticed an alpaca doing something funny and wanted to stop and watch and had questions and she fully ignored us and spoke over ppl to tell us to follow her to the front where the other llamas were. the forced history lesson of the farm was uncomfortable given the concept of owning land and farming in this country in the 1800s but i digress. i would have preferred that time being used to tell the group more about how to handle the animals to avoid her rude outbursts towards people making mistakes. definitely could be cheaper considering how long the hike actually is but would consider taking my friends on her day off
