Shaftsbury Alpacas - Home of The Alpaca Shack

Sandy was incredible and so knowledgeable of her animals! Get ready to laugh a bunch because she is hilarious! The farm is beautiful and the alpacas are so friendly.

The shop is incredible it is stocked with hats,vest, sweaters, teddy bears, shalls and full of alpaca themed things!

We will definitely be returning!

We unexpectedly came across Sandy's place and had to stop when we saw we could visit the alpacas. For $5 a person, I figured we would get to pet some alpacas for a few minutes and be on our way. The experience was above and beyond what I expected. Sandy brought us into one of the enclosures to introduce us to the female group of alpacas. She was really informative and taught us a lot about these beautiful animals and what it takes to run an alpaca farm. You can tell the animals are really well taken care of. We were there for easily over an hour. Sandy was a blast to listen to. It was such a fun time. She even offered to take some pics and then one of the alpacas decided to photobomb us!

We stayed in the area. Traveling with a group of friends today. Decided to stop by Alpaca farm. OMG! We had an amazing time. Sandy, very knowledgeable and entertaining. This was truly our highlight! We are definitely coming back. Thank you Sandy! We enjoyed our visit. Kids loved petting the alpacas too.

AMAZING!
It is $5 per person. We were there for almost two hours. Sandy was super informative and this was honestly an above and beyond experience. You get to enter into the pen and learn all about the alpacas and a little bit of background of their lineage. Got to browse in the shop were there is so many soft variations of clothing/ accessories. We got to take several pictures with an alpaca and got to feel their warm fiber fur. We went on a cold day so I am definitely looking forward returning and seeing them in the summer time! 10/10 would recommend !

Had a great time with the Alpacas and speaking with Sandy. She was very knowledgeable and you can tell she really has a passion for her work. We had quite a few laughs and enjoyed the afternoon. Showed up unannounced and had a great time. The Alpaca Shack has many fine things for sale. If you get a chance purchase a pair of alpaca socks. You’ll never want to wear any other.

We visited the farm about a week ago and we totally enjoyed it. Sandy was super-informative and kept us entertained. We were able to pet the alpacas and get some good snaps too.

In addition, her store has some good alpaca wool products. You should definitely visit this place if you are in the area.

PS: You can visit this farm on a weekday by appointment, contrary to "closed" mentioned on Google.

What a delightful experience visiting the alpaca shack today! Sandy gave us all an entertaining tour and humorous educational presentation.
The alpaca’s were gorgeous and the surrounding views were spectacular. Definitely worth the trip!!

Sandy was very knowledgeable and has a great personality! Her alpacas are friendly and not to mention suuuuuper soft! Her shop is great and reasonably priced for the quality, the socks are unbelievably soft(i literally feel like i’m walking on clouds!)

Sandy was super informative and kind during our visit! Her alpacas were so sweet and we loved having the opportunity to pet them and get some photos! My husband and I would love to visit again!

If you sign up for harvest Host you can even stay here!! We loved the alpaca's and learning all about them. I picked up a pair of slippers that still look and feel brand new after lots of daily usage! Take your kids! So fun!

This was so much fun. My kids, 17 and 13 loved it. Sandy, the owner, keeps you entertained while her alpacas give you lots of attention. If alpacas kisses are up your alley, it’s definitely worth a detour or even a special trip.

Had an amazing time! Owner was so friendly and informative. She took time out of mowing the lawn to greet us and give us an in depth tour. So happy we visited and would love to come back sometime in the future.
