Who are we?
Little Alpaca Company began in 2010 with three pet alpacas and a family who quickly fell in love with them. Today, our growing herd is at the heart of life at Lonsdale Farm, where everything starts with the animals and their wellbeing.
What do we do?
Our private experiences are designed to be personal, welcoming and unhurried. Walk beside an alpaca, meet and feed the herd, spend a day learning the ropes of alpaca farming, or plan a tailored team visit.

From fleece to everyday comfort.
Each year our alpacas are shorn to keep them comfortable through summer. We carefully sort, wash, card and spin the fleece by hand, using traditional methods to turn this wonderfully soft natural fibre into yarn and cosy pieces.
