For the Love of Alpacas: A Hobby Farmer’s Dream

If you’ve ever dreamed of waking up to the gentle hum of alpacas or watching them quietly graze against a backdrop of rolling hills, you’re not alone - and you’re definitely in the right place.

At Little Valley Farm, we believe alpacas are more than just cute faces (although they really are that cute). They’re intelligent, low-maintenance (compared to a horse!), and make the perfect addition to small properties, hobby farms, or anyone looking to live a little more gently with nature.

Whether you're new to the idea of keeping livestock or already planning your future farm, alpacas are the ideal starting point. They're soft-footed (so no paddock damage), highly sociable, and bring an incredible sense of calm to the land. They also give back - producing beautiful fleece, rich fertiliser for your garden, and in many cases, lifelong companionship.

We regularly welcome guests, new alpaca owners, and curious hobby farmers to our workshops and open farm days, where you can learn the basics of alpaca care, body scoring, FAMACHA testing, and how to truly understand these gentle animals. It's hands-on, informative, and always ends with a few laughs (and usually a few alpaca selfies too).

If you're ready to dip your boots into the world of hobby farming or simply want to spend a few days immersed in the alpaca lifestyle, come and visit us. Stay in our off-grid summerhouse, meet the herd (including Oberon, Pansey, Reign of Chinchilla, Vinkie, and baby Van just to name a few), and get a real taste of life with alpacas in the heart of the Wollombi Valley.

This is a space for dreamers, doers, and animal lovers—whether you're starting your journey or just starting to think about it.

Your alpaca adventure starts here.
