We called that morning and were able to visit at 2:00 PM. They welcomed us and gave us a complete and very informative tour of the farm. We got to meet the alpacas by name and visit the 11-month-old and 4-month-old alpacas with their mothers. We even had the chance to feed and walk with one of them. A huge thank you to the wonderful couple who owns this property for your kindness, patience, and understanding, especially with part of my family who did not speak English, allowing us time to translate. Your property is beautiful, and the alpacas are clearly loved and well taken care of. We will definitely visit again next time we are in this part of the country!

This what you call a hidden gem! Tucked away in a suburban area, behind a community of houses,…read morethrives well-loved animals. You may think you arrived at the wrong spot, but at the end of a long driveway you'll find a surprising 6 acre property.  A lovely couple are the guardians of these happy animals. Make an appointment, then bring the kids (or head over with friends)! They will gladly show you around the property, educate you on all things Alpacas, answer questions, and provide you one-on-one time with the animals. (Don't forget your camera.) Don't forget to check-out the Alpaca gift shop!

I really wish we would've allowed more time and visited on a day with better weather…read more Unfortunately, it was a rainy afternoon when we stopped in and also on the last day of my visit so we were somewhat rushed. I wanted to purchase some jams to bring back home (SoFL) so we only visited the gift shop. Specifically, I was in search of T.O.E. Jam. It took a hot minute, but eventually I located it. The gift shop has a wide variety of merchandise and a massive jam selection. There are endless gift options available and the folks at the counter were very friendly. I'll definitely return on a future visit and will go when we have more time. I'd love to check out the farm.

We visited the farm about a a week ago as a school field trip. We came again about a week later as…read morea family day. The farm and employees are absolutely amazing and kind. The store was a highlight because it had Whole Foods, merchandise, bathroom with changing tables etc. I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old, so those things are important. We were able to ride the hay ride today and walk the corn maze. The farm is pretty big and there's a-lot to enjoy and site see. This will be our go -to until season ends. Family friendly and affordable. Also, I e noticed people saying the location isn't correct. Don't go by Yelp. The address is 18 Sorghum Mill Dr Lakemont GA, 30552 United States

This place is an absolute treasure! We were searching for a place to have our daughter's second…read morebirthday party, and stumble upon this spot. Mike, the owner, is SO personable and kind. Their prices are so reasonable and the party was a huge hit. They don't have a limit on how many people you can invite, which was a major selling point for me. We had over 50 guests in attendance, and they were able to very easily accommodate everyone. The kids had a ball riding ponies and petting animals. They also have a little play ground. This place was an amazing experience and you won't find a better value for a child's party. Highly recommend !

Heard about the farm through Facebook. It's officially closed to the public because of the pandemic…read more( August 2020 ) but they are still accepting volunteers. The website is clear and complete about the animals at the farm. 300 + animals! Holy Cow. We decided to volunteer one morning from 8:30am - 11:30am. What an experience. We were assigned to dump old water, clean out the buckets and pools, and refill them all. For 200 pigs. Wow. Most of the pigs would walk up to you and were curious. Most of them you could pet. None of them were aggressive or scary. The farm is mainly sandy, you definitely need a good pair of rubber boots. Sometimes it's wet, sometimes there is poop. Put bug spray and sunscreen on. We watched the caretaker feed the pigs. That was a site in itself! Then we helped pick up poop in the cow/horse/donkey enclosure. I have to say, it was a great experience. Josh, the caretaker took the time to answer numerous question about all of the animals. Sign up online to give a little time. The could use your help!
