The drive was a little ways from Orlando but worth every mile. I really enjoyed feeding the goats and cuddling them. There is limited bottle feeding so make sure to book early on the website and bring cash if you want to purchase additional feed as I lost cell service. The young ladies here were the sweetest, very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I'm convinced that a couple baby goats are definitely in my future.

We came here so we could see full size alligators and learned that we weren't seeing the bigger ones out because it was too hot out and they prefer to hang out at the bottom of swamps to stay cooler. I saw so many large alligators here! They have about 200 of them here. We got to see them getting fed and learned how smart they are. I loved our guide who made our experience here that much better. He was very funny and informative. He took us on a boat ride and he also gave us the option to hold a baby alligators and a tarantula. I held the baby alligator but opted out of holding the tarantula even though she seemed very nice.

From homemade soap, lip baum and lotions to goat milk and fresh eggs, they are sure to become a fast favorite. "Tropical Monkey Farts," "Rugged," and "Hey Dude" - they are among the soap favorites at home. As for lip baum, it's Juicy Mango and Vanilla. Carlsward Farms has a number of different varieties to chose from. They are also "holiday" specific depending on the time of year. My youngest daughter and I recently visited Carlsward Farms itself and she wanted to adopt one of the Nigerian dwarf goats. I'm like, "no, Rebecca - we aren't adopting any goats." As for the farm, the Brown family homestead has been around for decades. From dairy goats, chickens and other farm animals - to freshly grown vegetables - it's a cool place to visit. Five stars to Carlsward Farms in Vero Beach. A small family business that deserves some attention. William E. Lewis Jr. Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

I have suffered from osteoarthritis for several years, have bulging discs and spend most days in pain. I have taken opioids for pain but I don't want to take pills the rest of my life, I use sea extracts to relieve pain, which are expensive and sleep with a heating pad every night because the pain is severe; I refer to it as "screaming" I purchased the CBD lotion bar today and late in the afternoon my pain was severe so I rubbed the stick on my neck, within 45 seconds the pain was gone; I couldn't believe it, it lasted for hours. I am going to bed without my heating pad. I Can't remember the last time that happened. To be in constant pain every day and then to suddenly be pain free is something I'm still trying to believe. If you have pain of any kind you have to try this. I can't believe how fast and how well it works. Pain free without heat or medication, it's miraculous.

My 2 year old loved it and recently saw some pics of the experience and told me she wants to go again. I also enjoyed it a lot as I got to pick up some chickens and pet them. Fed a cow, chickens and goats. Saw bunnies, chicks, turkeys and pigs. While the experience was about an hour for us, they do let you know that it might be a bit more or less depending on engagement with the animals. Visit requires a donation, but they don't ask for a specific amount. You have to contact them via facebook and schedule the visit. It was pretty easy for us to schedule it. Owner is very responsive and was so awesome with my little girl when we visited. Definitely want to visit again!

Not only is the location a perfect portal to a different type of Florida , but the wagons are all the way in the back so it's perfect privacy. There's also a tent outside to sit and watch pigs take a bath in the fountain. The wagon room we got was the Piggies room! Perfect decor and amenities inside(towels/shampoo/conditioner/tissues/coffee mugs /even games!) Huge bathroom with incredible shower.There is ac but we spent most of the time with the screen door and bathroom window open & it felt great. Included inside:mini fridge, toaster, coffee/tea (included),microwave and a small heater. Plenty of plugs to charge & a full length mirror. We love that there was no tv because we got to watch highland cows instead !! We also got to sleep to rain and it was so peaceful especially waking up every morning to new friends like pigs and sheep! We also saw: 4 highland cows!! , 2 different types of pigs, a family of sheep (+Anya the sassiest girl), cats, dogs, goats, turkeys (that like hugs but scared meee), guinea fowls, chickens and hens, mini horses and a peacock that sounds like Kevin from UP in the nighttime !! All the staff were super friendly including miss Elaine! Truly an incredible place to visit and get to feed pigs all day.

My mom was especially excited since she loves llamas and alpacas. LunaSea was able to fulfill her lifelong dream of meeting these beautiful animals. It was so awesome so see everyone having fun getting to pet and feed the animals. This experience was such a deal (just $25/person), and honestly you can't put a price on memories like this. Definitely a day we will look back on and smile about forever. Thank you Lucy Lee for the amazing customer service making booking a breeze, and King for educating us about the animals, making us laugh with your jokes, and providing the best tour ever.

LunaSea Alpaca Farm is a heartwarming animal encounter experience. Located in Clermont, Florida, 25…read moremiles west of Orlando, guided tours around the grounds are 90 minutes long with plenty of chances to interact and feed alpacas for just $20 a person. The owner of the farm, Mr. King, leads the tours imparting valuable insights into alpaca life and what roles alpacas play being part of the camelid species. The tour begins with brief introductions while attendees feed the farm's chickens. Next, the tour enters a fenced in enclosure and guests form a circle. The juvenile alpacas are familiar with these procedures and eagerly approach and eat from the palms of your hands. Another worthwhile moment is having visitors being introduced to an adult llama. Mr. King starts with a quick demonstration and then all participants take turns mouth-to-mouth feeding the llama. It feels rewarding accepting playful nibbles from such a docile animal. One of the better highlights is having the opportunity to hug a baby alpaca. It's a great way to end the encounter on such an uplifting note. Overall, LunaSea Alpaca Farm is a charming interactive experience where visitors become better acquainted with alpacas. Tours are highly engaging and can make for lasting memories.
