SHED Chetwyn Farms
Alpaca Encounters
A guided alpaca encounter on a working fibre farm
Soft, curious, and unexpectedly calming.
Location: Hillier
Address: 500 Closson Road
Spend 45–60 minutes on a working fibre farm getting to know a herd of alpacas, each with their own name and personality. This guided experience offers a calm, open setting where you’ll learn about alpaca care, behaviour, and fibre production while connecting with the animals up close. You’ll meet and greet the herd, hand-feed them with provided treats, and enjoy plenty of photo opportunities along the way. The experience also includes a tour of the barn and a chance to meet the farm’s rescue horses, adding another layer to this relaxed, hands-on visit.
