Adopt An Alpaca

Our Adopt An Alpaca program makes the perfect gift for alpaca lovers of all ages!  

Adopting an alpaca offers a unique way of having alpacas in your life without having to own one. It makes the perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Mother’s and Father’s Day–or any day that you would like to provide some cheer, celebrate a milestone or thank someone special.

Here is what is included in the Adoption Package

• Personalized certificate of adoption with a photo of your favourite alpaca
• Alpaca fact sheet
• A fleece/fibre sample for show and tell
• Assorted alpaca lover items
Plus two tickets to meet the alpaca at a future farm event.

Cost is $50 per alpaca adoption sent by regular mail or $75 if you want express shipping
