For a small fee, you can enjoy a one on one experience with their friendly alpacas, or take a few out on a guided tour along the wintery trails. Perfect to soak up all the fresh crisp air. The farm is free to visit, the one on ones have to be reserved ahead of time and paid for. The farm is home for many animals, goat, pigs and you'll often find a few cats following you round as you explore. There's a gift shop on site, which you must stop in to see. They have lots of hand made items, from hats, gloves, to socks and so much more, most made with the fur of the alpacas. Also, They do have soaps and lotions that are made from the milk of the alpaca's, which is the most buttery soft lotions and luxurious soaps you'll ever use. The visit here is worth while, it's a unique way to spend some time with the animals and in nature.

I love this place and suggest the self guided tour if it's not busy. Since everyone is so nice, they will come up and explain anything to you anyway and you can go about the farm at your own pace. If you are in the area, definitely stop by and make Some new, fluffy friends. You can pet the animals from the neck down, but none of the animals are really in the mood to be petted so just enjoy them for what they are. Beautiful creatures who want your food! Have fun!

Sidenote: be careful of driving to come here as you will meet a lot of Amish horse drawn carriage ( encountered 8 of them) as I was driving to come here. Also, bring sunscreen and a hat . The sun can wear you down.

Katrina and Gary go out and beyond to make you feel welcomed and comfortable at their farm. They give great tours and provide an enormous amount of interesting information. The treks are a lot of fun and you really get to see the llama's personality's shine during the one on one time. The babies are adorable and will warm your heart. I highly recommend the seasonal llama yoga. A baby llama might just come up and smell your feet while you are in a pose. Wish I could give Dakota Ridge Farms 10 Stars.

As I have been to two other similar farms, I thought I knew what to expect. This farm experience was completely different than any I had ever experienced previously. Although the animals were beautiful in appearance, they seemed to only respond to the owner when she plied them with treats. They didn't seem to be trained to walk along with strangers, namely people they were not familiar with. I was especially disappointed as I had booked a private as opposed to a group hike. I will say that the owner was accommodating when the weather was not conducive to hiking; she allowed us to change our reservation to another day.

Much like the staff, the alpacas all have fun and diverse personalities.

The alpacas and all the other animals (peacocks, turkeys, doggos) are all loved and well taken care of. Elaine is kind, patient and interested in the folks that visit her. You could sit and talk for hours! Duchess, the beautiful white lady of the farm is a working dog and still sleeps inside with her family at night. Only recommendation I would make is maybe a sink available to wash your hands. We didnt really get dirty but It's a farm, after all!

I am so glad to get the experience of meeting lots of these beautiful animals in these farm. Woodland meadow farm is a working farm. The owners breed alpacas for business. They started with only 3 alpacas and now after 11 years of operation, they have 73 total of different mixed breeds. It is a huge farm that can accommodate all the animals daily activities. Alpacas are adorable, charming and friendly. As per understanding, alpacas are raised basically for their luxurious and expensive fibers. It is being sell per pound to turn into hats, scarves, blankets , sweaters etc. If at once you received an item made of alpacas fiber, it is said to be a precious possession that lasts years time. They are scheduled to be sheered once a year. During our visit, the owner let me dip my finger how much deep one alpaca fiber has , about 4 inches deep. Cool! We witnessed the love of the owners to these creatures , an inspiration to reckon with. Being said , who knows, I maybe farming these wonderful creatures in the future or may get one as pet. We learned a lot about alpacas from the owners during this visit. The farm is worth visiting if you have the love for these animals. Come visit the farm and get to experience a unique enchantment.

Don't overlook this little farm stand operation!

The open fields are a welcome change from being indoors, and you can pick whatever fruits you like. The farm leaves quart containers out on a stand for you to pick up and use while picking fruit, and you just drive to the fields. Then you bring the containers to the register with what you picked. They offer a reasonable price for fresh fruit. It's fun, relaxing, and great for all ages.
