THE USA · FARM TOURS
This is the shortlist you would hand a friend: 4 alpaca and llama farms in the USA worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the thing to know before you commit.
At Alpacas of Montana near Bozeman, you spend about 90 minutes meeting alpacas, llamas, Anatolian guard dogs, chickens, and seasonal horses. Guides such as Jenna, Sarah, and Fiona lead feeding, walking, grooming, and photo time. The small group is limited to four people, making this a personal farm visit.
“We totally enjoyed this. Guide was very knowledgeable. We learned a lot. Interacting with the animals was also enjoyable”
At Clover Brooke Farm in Hyde Park, guide Andrea introduces you to llamas, alpacas, rabbits, chickens, ducks, and friendly barn cats before leading you through gentle pastures and paddocks. You’ll learn basic animal safety, visit an 1850 homestead, take llama selfies, and have time for the farm store. Ages 8 and up.
“What a unique experience! Andrea, the tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgable. You can tell she genuinely cares about her animals. We had a lovely time with the Alpacas and Llamas.”
At Lilymoore Farm in Pleasant Valley, you’ll spend about an hour with alpacas, llamas, huarizo, goats, birds, chickens, and mini pig Gizmo. A trained guide explains each animal’s care and personality while you feed and pet them. The goats come out to play, and an alpaca joins the group for photos. The tour suits families and animal lovers.
“Really nice farm. Lots of animals to interact with like horses, alpacas, llamas, pigs and more. Great way to spend an hour of your day.”
At Tahoma Vista Fiber Mill and La Vida Alpaca in Yelm, you’ll hand-feed alpacas, learn how their fleece becomes finished goods, and browse a small boutique. The private 90-minute tour is led by the welcoming farm family and staff, limited to your group of up to 10 people, and works well for both children and adults.
“Me and my sis enjoyed ourself. Very educational, humor and personable people/family/staff. A must if you’re an animal lover. And can’t forget Snowfall/ball don’t get me.”
Every kind of working farm that sells a morning.
