ONLINE ALPACA SHOP

NO APPOINTMENT IS NEEDED TO VISIT THE ALPACA SHOP! JUST STOP BY DURING OUR NORMAL HOURS.

Harvard Alpaca Ranch is a working alpaca farm that currently maintains a herd of 41 alpacas (including 2 babies born in 2026). We offer farm tours and we have a retail shop full of luxurious alpaca products. We offer additional services such as professional shearing of alpacas and sheep, alpaca-assisted therapeutical activities, agisting (boarding), mentoring to new farms, farm rentals for special events, and unique opportunities to interact and learn about alpacas.

In additional to the herd of alpacas living on our Ranch, you will also find the Alpaca Shop, full of all types of beautiful alpaca products. Our products include yarn, socks, hats, scarves, gloves, and mittens, blankets, stuffed animals, and a variety of souvenirs from the Ranch. Can't make it to the shop, visit our Online Alpaca Shop.

Do you have a special occasion that warrants a SPECIAL TOUR? Ask us about our Enhanced Tours! Enhanced tours are private tours that include having an alpaca on halter for an up close visit, in addition to meeting all the alpacas on the Ranch. Send us an email ([email protected]) for pricing and the book your Enhanced Tour.

The Ranch is open to visitors Thursday through Sunday, with farm tours being offered on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. When you arrive, please enter through the Alpaca Shop and check in with our staff. Hours: Thursday & Friday: 11:00AM-4:00PM; Saturday & Sunday: 10:00AM-5:00PM. We occasionally close the farm for special events.

Please leave your pets at home, but service animals are welcome. When bringing a service animal, please be aware that the alpacas may be quite nervous in its presence. The Ranch is predominantly handicapped accessible, although access in the pastures/paddocks can be challenging in icy or muddy conditions. Please call, as needed, to assess conditions.
