We want to provide everyone with a different option when it comes to finding fun activities to do. Whether you are locally based, visiting the area or just visiting to see our alpacas, you should always look to take part in our alpaca experiences. You can limit yourself to seeing and meeting the alpacas or have a more involved option. We help you make the right choice.
We opened the Alpaca Centre & Coffee Shop on our 23 acre farm in December 2018. Sit in our coffee shop looking out over the alpaca paddocks. We serve yummy breakfast, lunch, delicious coffee, homemade cake and Afternoon Tea (booking required). Our outside seating is perfect on a sunny day, overlooking the paddocks, listening to the alpacas munching grass.
Our shop sells All Things Alpaca! Luxurious hand knitted alpaca scarves, hats, gloves and baby wear. Our British alpaca knitwear is made from wool from our herd of over 90 alpacas in Lincolnshire. After shearing we clean the fleece & take it for processing at the alpaca mini mill in Norfolk.
Each alpaca fleece is spun individually & we name the colour after the alpaca from which it came. We can only make 8 – 10 items out of each fleece. Our alpaca fleeces are spun into wool and hand knitted into soft alpaca scarves in their natural colours, we do not dye the wool so it will not fade. Each piece of alpaca knitwear comes with a photo tag of its alpaca.
