Good morning, alpaca lovers,
We’ve got some lovely updates to share from Little Valley Farm, starting with our summerhouse, which is quietly transforming into a little micro-retreat (if we can call it that!).
From the end of October/early November, guests will be able to enjoy our wood-fired pizza oven and wood-fired sauna. Perfect for doing absolutely nothing for your slow-stay with us, which we highly recommend. Bring a book, light the fire, and let the valley work its magic.
Our summerhouse sleeps four adults and can be booked directly for better rates for you to enjoy. More on the summerhouse here.

Alpaca knitwear
The weather’s been cooler lately (just how I like it), which means I get to pull out my favourite alpaca knitwear. Here I am in one that was handspun & knitted for me. I'm also wearing our La Sierra alpaca scarf. They’re a fav, & you can find the range here here.
Wollombi Village
A fresh vibe is awakening in the village, thanks to the new owners of the Wollombi General Store and their inspiring new look. It looks fantastic! Chef Shea is captivating hearts and appetites, inviting everyone to experience the joy of breakfast, lunch, and a delightful scoop of Carnival Gelato. Its well worth a visit.

Our alpacas
Say hello to little Miss Rosebud the alpaca.
As for the alpacas… the babies are growing too fast, as usual. We’re getting ready for spring shearing in September and looking forward to longer days and warmer weather.
Shearing 2025
Shearing is happening the weekend of 26th to 28th Sept and the dates are currently available to book your summerhouse stay.
If you’ve been thinking about a return visit (or your first stay), now’s a great time to book. Nightly rates will increase next month, but you can still secure your preferred dates at the current price if you book now. And remember, booking direct via our website means better rates for you.
Alpaca Workshop
Our next events will be on Sunday, 14th September, and then on 12th October. Book your place here as spots are limited, and this is best suited for new or potential owners.

He captures the quiet beauty of this place in a way words can't quite manage.
Euan will also be part of the upcoming Laguna Art Show, which helps raise funds for our wonderful small public school in Laguna. The show will run from 23rd to 25th August, 2025. It's well worth a visit if you’re in the area, and for a great cause. https://www.instagram.com/lagunaartshow
