Also alpacas and horses reside, they came to greet us as we walked through the field. If I was more patient, we could have waited for them to pick the tree up with an atv and trailer, but I opted to drag it out. They provide saws, and all trees are one price, and much lower than many of the places around, under 40 bucks! For $2 more, they will send your tree through a bailer for easier transport and bringing it inside. I even saw them tie one to the roof for another family. The owners and family are quite knowledgeable and will offer to show you a specific variety of tree and sends you on your way with excellent instructions to make sure your tree lasts the duration. Definitely check them out, great local business.

When we've been here there has typically only been one person working, but it's never been a big deal because all the staff does is prepare the cheese tasting and then there is seating outside and upstairs. The ambiance is fine... it's never been too busy or loud when we've been here. Definitely a cool spot to stop if you like goats and goat cheese!

We had 10 people in our group with every age from young kids to seniors, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent there. Laura started by telling us about all the different animals on the farm, from the large draft horses, to the ponies, cows, goats, sheep, bunnies, chickens, turkeys, pigs, and ducks. The kids got to gather the chicken eggs, pet most of the animals including a week old calf and week old bunnies. Then they learned about feeding the goats and got to go into the goat pen to pet them up close and personal. After that, they each got to ride a pony around the goat pen a couple times, they loved it! We finished up with a ride out to the pumpkin patch where we each got to choose a pumpkin to take home. There was a store for us to purchase additional pumpkins, cider, jams, decorations, etc. as well. It was so much fun for the kids and adults and I would love to go back. They also offer similar services in the winter, with fresh cut, or cut your own trees, along with horse drawn carriage rides, and Santa sightings! There is a venue for weddings as well. Great place, great time, so enjoyable!

So as the name suggests, this is an Alpaca farm, mill, and shop that is open to visitors! They have 80 alpacas on site, 4 human-friendly guard dogs that are huge great pyrs that love pets, and 2 curious barn cats that wander around. You can use Google maps to navigate here but note that this address takes you to the farm house which is not open to the public. The entrance to the store and where tours start is actually at 13557 Little Lake Road which is walkable but I recommend driving here since there isn't really sidewalk to get there. There is parking available anywhere you can pull up. When we arrived, we headed up to the store to check in. The entrance to the barn is decorated with all the awards their alpacas have won over the years. We were also greeted by one of the dogs, Phil, who had just woken up from a snooze. It would turn out that all the dogs around loved getting pats which was awesome. When we got up to the shop we met Amy, the owner, who is very sweet and happy to answer any questions you have about the goings on at the farm. There are two main activities that you can do at the farm: the tour and the trek. The tours start at $10 for children aged 6-16 and is $20 for adults. The trek is $20 for everyone 11+. The combo of the tour and the trek goes for $35 and is cheaper at $25 for those aged 10-16. If you fall into the right age categories, I highly recommend doing the tour and the trek, especially if you have someone in your group that doesn't mind being the dedicated videographer of your trip. The tours take up to a maximum of 10 people at a time and run at 12pm and 2pm. If you're coming on a weekend with nice weather, I suggest calling ahead to reserve a spot. The tour is guided and takes you around the farm to the different alpaca enclosures and you get to interact with the alpacas that aren't too shy. Our guide, Liam, was able to answer any questions that we had about the animals and explained how the alpacas are taken care of and was able to tell us about the characteristics of different individuals. He also let us know that him and his assistants were available to take pictures for us as well. Now if you're like me and you want the full experience, the trek allows you to walk an alpaca during the tour! You actually walk it like a dog, on a leash. I don't know what it is about holding the leash but it feels like it directly connects you to the soul of the animal or something and it made me feel super special. You're also welcome to pet your alpaca. They give you instructions on how to properly walk and interact with your alpaca so both you and your new best friend are comfortable. A word on what to wear: dress for the weather. This is a real farm, not a petting zoo, so it can get messy. We were here on a day after it just rained so it was super muddy and on our tour we avoided one of the trails they normally take you down during the tour. Also a few of us showed up in running shoes and nicer footwear that we didn't want to get ruined and Amy was gracious enough to let us borrow the boots and shoes they had for use by the farm staff. I would definitely just wear shoes you don't mind getting dirty. Back at the shop they have different goods handmade from the Old Mill's own alpaca wool like warm weather accessories, felt animals, and even wool soaps for sale as well as some clothing items that from alpaca wool from Peru. They are also able to take custom orders that can be shipped or picked up at a later date. They accept cash, credit card, and e-transfer. If you have accessibility issues this might not be the best attraction since the store is up a set of stairs and the tour goes over terrain that is not paved.
