Shepherds Creek Alpacas

HOLIDAY OPEN FARM DAYS 10 - 4 SATURDAYS THROUGH CHRISTMAS

**Due to personal circumstances we aren't scheduling farm visits until after the new year.**
HOWEVER, please visit us during our HOLIDAY OPEN FARM DAYS - 10 TIL 4 on BLACK FRIDAY and THEN SATURDAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS. FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

TO SCHEDULE A VISIT - **Visits are only offered at 10:30 am on days when we are available. Text or voicemail 304-228-5174, or email via this website to book your visit and experience an "alpaca encounter" and visit our shop (see details and times below). We will get back to you asap. Visit slots are very limited so try to call ahead, AT LEAST A DAY BEFORE.
Tell us what day you want to come and how many people are in your group.
Please keep in mind that we are a small family farm with no staff or regular hours. We need to open the shop and prepare the alpacas for your visit, so please give us a call if for some reason you can't make it at your visit time.
VISIT FEE (about an hour in duration, details below!) - Cash or Credit Cards Accepted :
$15 / person for 1-3 people
$12 / person for 4 or more people (for groups over 8 special pricing is possible)
No charge for a visit just to the Farm Shop, or for those interested in purchasing alpacas, but you still need to contact us to schedule.
- Visit times are firm, so please arrive at your visit time to avoid extended time fees!
- Please, NO DOGS. They scare the alpacas & agitate our livestock guardian dogs.
- We do not have bathroom facilities available
- Students, please do not plan to take a taxi or Uber to the farm, as we are too far from Ithaca!
ABOUT YOUR VISIT:
When you visit the farm you can learn all about the alpacas, hand-feed them and feel their wonderful fleece, take pictures and even a selfie with them! You will also be greeted by our very friendly Livestock Guardian Dogs. After you meet the alpacas, please plan to do some shopping in SHEPHERDS CREEK ALPACAS FARM SHOP! We have beautiful hand-made accessories, yarn & roving from our own alpaca fleece, as well as commercially made sweaters, socks, hats, alpaca dolls, teddy bears & more!

ABOUT US & OUR FARM:
People ALWAYS ask us…"How did you ever get into this?". An educator (Barb) and a physician (Marc), we stumbled on these delightful animals in 2003, fell in love, and began a life journey that was both unforeseen and wonderful! We are both retired now and keep a herd of 12 to 20 alpacas, including high quality show winners and pets and "retired" breeding stock. We offer a variety of products in our alpaca farm shop, and offer agritourism opportunities.
