Large group tours are designed for 4H, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, homeschool groups, and beyond! Please message Mill Pond Alpacas to inquire about the investment, and what each type of tour provides!

A: Small group farm tours are for one hour, and include talking about the history of our farm, sustainable farming in the US, and general information about alpacas and their fiber. Each tour is curated to the group’s individualized interests. Visitors have the opportunity to feed the herd and handle the animals. Photos and questions are welcome and encouraged! Please message to inquire about booking and investment. Large group farm tours are for 90 minutes. We encourage homeschool, agricultural, and large groups to bring one question about alpacas and alpaca farming per person to the visit; this preparation helps large groups get the most from their tour experience. These tours discuss the above, and also include 30 minutes following the formal tour for guests to remain on-property; this time can be used to collaborate, review, or have a snack together. Mill Pond Alpacas has a large Gorilla playset, and children are welcome to use this after the large group tour is complete (not available for small group tours). Please supervise all children as needed at your discretion. All parties using the equipment on-property agree that Mill Pond Alpacas is not responsible for any children and/or injuries sustained on playground equipment while using the playground equipment. Please message to inquire about booking and investment.
