A & R Alpacafarm and Gift Shop - Alpacas by the dozen!

A & R Alpacafarm and Gift Shop

(1 review)

A & R Alpaca Farm is such a fantastic experience for anyone who likes to interact with friendly…read morelivestock. My girlfriend had seen an ad somewhere (possibly on Facebook), and with my farm-loving mother coming to town from Canada, we knew we had to go. They don't have dedicated hours posted anywhere, as they're indeed a working farm, but after reaching out on Facebook Messenger and then calling, we were able to arrange for a visit the next day. Located about 45 minutes outside of Columbus, A & R Alpaca Farm is quite nondescript from the outside -- miles of agricultural properties surround it, and there's no overt signage marking this farm in particular...but as we nearly overshot the property, we saw a few alpacas off in the distance, and found the place without issue. As we pulled in, Aaron and Robin (the "A" and "R" of the name) had just come back from feeding the herd, and they invited us to enter the stable...which had dozens upon dozens of curious alpacas (not to mention a cat, a couple of big dogs, and several chickens) all monitoring our arrival. Robin was incredibly friendly, and after we spent a few minutes petting alpacas in a larger pen, she brought us into a smaller pen with perhaps twenty alpacas, and gave us little "cookies" to feed them with. Much to our surprise, Robin had not only named all of the alpacas (the farm has around 120 heads overall), but also managed to *remember* all of their names...and some alpacas seemed to respond when called. All the alpacas had different personalities, with some being aloof and flighty, and others being downright affectionate. One in particular had special affinity for being photographed. As soon as she saw the smart phone come out, she would come forward for a perfect photo op (seriously, folks -- I can't make this stuff up). After around 45 minutes of hanging out with the alpacas, we went into the gift shop, where there were many unique items made from alpaca yarn. Stuffed animals, toys, clothing, gloves, skeins of yarn were all available, and given that the proprietors didn't charge for our little tour, we made a point of buying a lot of goods...not as compensation, but because the goods are indeed worthwhile. If the words "alpaca gloves" don't make you want to drive there immediately, after this long and cold Columbus winter, I don't know what else will. In all seriousness, there's really nothing not to like about A & R Alpaca Farm. Robin and Aaron are kind and enthusiastic about their business, the alpacas are docile and generally willing to be petted, and the whole trip makes for a unique and delightful experience. It *is* worth noting that the animals are livestock, and it is a working farm, so you'll want to wear boots and clothes that you don't mind smelling like alpaca afterwards, but to my mind, that's more of a "perk" than a detriment.
