Our baby alpacas (cria) are born between May and June, making it a lovely time of year on the farm. From June onwards, you can book our Cria Watch experience and spend time with the newest additions to the herd as they begin to explore their surroundings.
Add Afternoon Tea
After meeting the cria, settle in at the Chilli Bean Dog Cafe for a proper afternoon tea — finger sandwiches, homemade scones with jam and clotted cream, a selection of cakes and a hot drink.
