Farm Visits
Want to meet our alpacas - Samuel, Marty, Mr. Peterman, Newman and Jeff? Our donkeys - George, Pickle, Cookie? And even Anthony the Rooster and his chickens?
We are starting to offer some visits to our farm. Our animals are our family and we ask you please treat them with the same love and respect we do. You will have the opportunity to hand feed the alpacas and to get up close and personal (if they choose). Alpacas are not cuddly creatures and can be rather timid. Hear the funny sounds they make in person and get to know their unique personalities. Our three miniature donkeys are super friendly and are an amazing recent addition to our farm. See our gardens and pastures as you meet everyone on our farm and learn about them. We want the animals to have a stress free experience as possible so we ask that you kindly follow our rules.

About Our Farm
We are a small, private alpaca farm located in the outskirts of Port Hope, Ontario. We moved our family here seven years ago to start a farm and get back to nature. Currently we have five amazing male Huacaya alpacas who keep us laughing everyday. To help support them and the lifestyle they want to be accustomed to (ha ha), we started a business selling products inspired by and made from their gorgeous fibre. We expanded this summer and brought home three amazing miniature donkeys! Follow us on social media so you can see all of the antics they get up to and what’s new on the farm.
Samuel L. Jackson
Our oldest alpaca, born in 2017, and alpha of the group; Samuel L. Jackson. Sam was the first alpaca we picked when we started our search. He’s difficult at times, ha ha, but also very sweet and amazing. We leave his sideburns long to go with his look. This guy loves his hay and especially the hay crack.
Marty McFly
Marty McFly is a beautiful fawn colour and the younger brother to Samuel. And yes they fight like brothers. Ha ha. Marty is our largest boy but is also a gentle giant. He’s sweet and kind and protects the youngest ones. You won’t find him far from Mr. Peterman … they are best friends and always together.
Mr. Peterman
Oh Mr. Peterman. He is quite the character and like no other, ha ha. He has quite the personality; he's saucy and funny. His white fleece is quite beautiful and soft but he’s notorious for rolling around in dirt. Mr. Peterman is the one who likes to go into his pool in hot weather.
Newman
Newman is a bay black colour - black on the inside and then his fibre turns brown on the outside as it regrows. This guy is true to his name. Ha ha. He’s quite opinionated and loud. He uses his voice to express himself. We brought Newman and Jeff home together.
Jeff Lebowski
Jeff (The Dude) is a sweet dark brown little guy with eyelashes for days. He has the sweetest face and disposition. Very friendly but if you make him mad he let’s you know. Ha. He’s our youngest alpaca born in 2020.
Cookie Monster
Cookie is a sweet and slightly shy beautiful girl. Best friend of Piccolo (Pickle). She loves nose rubs and being told that she is beautiful. She’s our biggest donkey and approximately 14 years old. She brays asking you to come in to visit her.
Piccolo (Pickle)
This girl is so sweet. She is the mom of George and approximately 15 years old. She watches you like a hawk and can get very suspicious of things like fly spray. Pickle loves Cookie and follows her around all day. Loves nose kisses.
George Costanza
George, our only boy, was born to the sweet Pickle. He is the most loving donkey you will ever meet. Runs to you for his hugs and cuddles. Pretty much thinks he is a dog. His demeanour is so sweet. And loves to try to take his Dad’s coffee. Ha.
Greeting Cards
Our cute and funny cards are all based on our five alpacas; Samuel L Jackson, Marty McFly, Mr. Peterman, Newman and Jeff Lebowski. Artwork by deboraH. Each card is made with fiber from our boys! So soft and adorable. Card designs will come and go so if you see one that catches your eye... All cards below are now only $6 each. Or 5 for $25. All proceeds go back to the alpacas.

Alpaca Fertilizer
Magical Fertilizer for your Garden
Now taking orders for fertilizer! Place your order below and we will contact you with availability and pickiup time.
Have you heard about using alpaca poop in your gardens for a fertilizer? It's also referred to as black gold or magical beans for a reason. There are many benefits to using alpaca fertilizer over cow, sheep or goat manure.
- improves the soil quality and ability to retain water
- doesn't need to be aged, directly usable
- lower levels of nitrogen - no plant burning
- bean shaped and easy to spread
- virtually odourless
- doesn't contain weed seeds
There are different ways you can use the beans.
- Till the beans into your soil in the spring or fall
- Sprinkle the beans on top of the soil. Every time it rains or you water the beans release goodness into the soil
- Make a 'tea' to water your indoor or outdoor plants (see recipe)
Alpaca Bean Tea (Not for humans! But your plants will LOVE this!)
1 cup alpaca beans
3 litres water
1 old pail (preferably with a lid)
Place your beans in the water in your pail. Generally let sit outside 24 hours until the water is a dark brown. Then water away your plants. The pellets that have not been broken down can be tossed into your outdoor garden.
Would you like to purchase some alpaca poop from Samuel, Marty, Mr. Peterman, Jeff and Newman? Well you can now order it from our farm! Available in 30 pound (15.6 kg) bags and also smaller bags for making Alpaca Bean Tea. Sorry, no delivery available. Pickup from the end of our driveway. Place your order and we will reply to you with details regarding your pickup.
