Meet Our Alpacas: Everything You Need to Know About Your Farm Experience

Find a slice of countryside heaven tucked away in our 24-acre farm in Marmora, where furry alpacas roam free – and so can you. Set against a lush backdrop where forested trails begin their journey into the wilderness, you’ll find yourself amidst a herd of playful alpacas of varying shapes, sizes, and colours. They’re charming, they’re friendly, and here’s the best part — they hum when they’re happy (which is pretty much all the time). Meet them in a peaceful setting in our Eastern Ontario countryside

What Makes Our Alpacas So Special

One of the things that captivates visitors to our peace-loving camelids is their gentle and curious demeanor, making them the perfect companion for children and adults alike. Their well-cared-for fleece feels soft to the touch, and their expressive faces draw you in the moment you lay eyes on them. Friendly, approachable, and accessible, our alpacas are delightfully easy to interact and play with.

During your meet-and-greet with the alpacas, you’ll meet the cuddly alpaca baby Ajax, whose eager playfulness will warm your heart. Then there’s the sweet mama alpaca Zooma, who keeps a watchful eye over the herd but is a certified softie. Once you get to know each one of them and learn their unique stories, you’ll never feel like leaving!

What You’ll Do During Your Alpaca Visit

1. Meet Our Herd of Fluffballs and Hang Out With Your Favourite

Tune into the daily rhythms of farm life and learn the story of each resident alpaca as you stroll through paddocks populated by alpacas of all colours — from white and fawn to brown and ebony.

Through guided introductions, you’ll learn about our alpacas’ personalities, temperaments, and endearing quirks that make you go “aww.” For example, alpacas are quite organized when it comes to their bathroom habits, using communal dung piles to keep the spread of parasites in check!

2. Feed the Herd and Learn About Their Diet

Did you know that alpacas have a three-compartment stomach that lets them efficiently convert food into energy? Learn similar awe-inspiring trivia about alpacas’ grazing and eating habits on a fun feeding tour at the farm, guided by our expert staff. By the end of the tour, you’ll have your favorite alpaca eating out of your hand –  literally!
