You step off the gravel drive and the air changes—hay, warm fleece, and the faint tang of livestock mingle with clean mountain wind. A line of curious alpacas tilts their long necks as you approach; their fleece looks softer close-up than any photo could show. Over the next 90 minutes you’re invited into a working textile farm where animals are both production partners and personalities: haltering alpacas, offering small treats, and learning grooming techniques that connect fiber to finished goods.

This part of the Gallatin Valley has long supported small-scale livestock and fiber production; alpaca farming expanded here because the cold, dry winters produce dense, high-quality fleece. The ranch also keeps Anatolian guard dogs, seasonal horses and chickens, and a patchwork of pasture rotated for animal health. Nearby Bozeman’s agricultural history and the geology of the Gallatin Range—volcanic flows and glacially carved valleys—shape the farm’s landscape and viewlines.
Expect hands-on instruction, the possibility of meeting crias in season, and candid farm life: births and breeding can occur. The terrain is easy but uneven—gravel and dirt paths—so the tour moves at a relaxed pace suitable for most ages.
Practical tips: wear closed-toe shoes, bring water and sunscreen (no public restroom on site), and plan for mid-elevation sun at ~4,800 ft. The experience blends animal handling basics with fiber education—ideal for families, makers, and anyone curious about where wool and yarn begin.
Yes—families are welcome but children must be supervised at all times; the farm recommends at least one adult per two children.
The farm is accessible in parts and can bring animals closer to guests who cannot navigate gravel paths; however, some terrain may be difficult for standard wheelchairs or strollers.
Yes—guests will have opportunities to feed treats, halter alpacas, and engage in supervised handling and grooming activities.
