The Farm Tour
Our tour takes about an hour and is very hands on. Visitors will be taken to a yard/pen where they can touch the alpacas, hold a cria (baby alpaca) and takes lots of photographs. Kit and Sheryl will discuss all aspects of alpaca farming and answer any questions. The highlight for many is the opportunity of taking an alpaca for a walk using a halter and lead. We also offer visitors the opportunity of handling the fibre after it has been removed from the animal. The fibre has a luxurious, soft handling feel to it and is free of lanolin. Take a sample away with you as a reminder of your visit to Silverstream. Silverstream has approximately 230 alpacas in white, light and medium fawn, brown, grey and black.
