Meet our herd of alpacas and discover how each animal contributes to life on our farm. From calm mares to strong stallions: each animal has its own character and story.
Our mares form the heart of the herd. Each animal has a unique character and its own coat color, ensuring beautiful diversity within the group. They are known for their calm nature and social behavior.

Good shelter is essential for the well-being of our alpacas. Therefore, our infrastructure is designed so that we can isolate animals if necessary, without disturbing their rest or comfort.
