Jersey Shore Alpacas

My girlfriend from Florida has been obsessed with alpacas for quite awhile now. We were planning to take a trip down to Cape May and Atlantic City with my sister and I came across this place. I decided to surprise her with this visit and couldn’t be happier that it went as well as it did.
****NOTE: If you want to go inside the gate and see the alpacas, you need to set up a private appointment which normally lasts an hour****
I emailed Tish (the owner) in November wanting to set up a private visit to see the alpacas since they’re normally closed on weekdays. Tish was more than helpful with setting this up for me and we booked it for December 29. A few days prior to that she emailed me to confirm and give me directions which was very nice of her.
When we got there, she met us out front and led us to where the alpacas stayed. The males and females were separated. Tish was very knowledgeable about the animals and told us a lot about them. It was very interesting learning about all of them and their different personalities. They each had very creative names, like Maybelline (because of dark circles around her eyes which looks like eyeliner), Chenel No. 5 (Probably my favorite name out of all of them because it’s adorable), Panda Man (panda eyes lol), and just so many more. Some of them are friendly and will let you pet them, others aren’t and walk away. Tish gave us each a bag of carrots to feed them which was so much fun. We went inside and the alpacas were going crazy over the carrots. We got many pictures with them and they are all so funny to look at.
My sister and girlfriend each brought a selfie stick with them and the alpacas were so intrigued by it that they all stood together staring at it. That got us such great opportunities to take pictures with all of them huddled up so definitely bring a selfie stick if you have one! They do tend to spit once in awhile, but Tish told us that’s more of a warning to the other alpacas (fun fact!).
After the hour inside the gate with them, we went into the shop and watched a video of one of the younger alpaca’s first day. It was absolutely adorable. Honestly this was one of the best experiences ever. Definitely check this place out! You won’t regret it!

Let me be honest and say that I am absolutely obsessed with alpacas. The owners of this farm were so nice and informative! I learned so much! They let us walk around and even gave us a bag of carrots to feed to the alpacas. It was amazing.
Afterward, they let us into their shop. Again, the women at the shop was so nice and we talked for about a half hour about everything alpacas, including days that other farms hold events.
Fantastic place to stop in!

A fun place to be for families and friends! When you arrive, you are greeted by the owner of the farm who is extremely nice and friendly. She will tell you everything you need and want to know about alpacas and how she got this started. Her interns are extremely nice and are willing to explain to you the quirkiness of each alpaca. Each person is given a free bag of carrot to feed the alpacas and they will all rush to you for food. Be prepared to get spit on by them if they huddle too close to you! They will spit on each other for food but you might get hit by the crossfire. Their spit is not slimy, but it is stinky!
If you are not a big fan of smelly spit, you can feed Lightning who is a lone alpaca that doesn’t spit (since he is not near any other alpacas). Admission is free but donation is highly encouraged. You will enjoy your time there! Make sure to get there early as the place gets a lot of visitors during the weekend as the day goes on!

Seeing the alpacas was pretty much the only reason my companion and I even decided to take the ferry from Lewes to Cape May (where we were vacationing). The NJ transit 552 or 510 bus comes directly here from the Cape May visitor center so traveling isn’t difficult.
This was an amazing visit. The alpacas were born and raised together and you can tell the caretakers treat them as family.
You can take a quick tour and get introduced to the animals as well as feed them carrots. There’s also a small shop in the house with goods made from alpaca fleece. We bought some adorable alpaca fleece winter hats.
Seeing the alpacas is definitely worth the trip and I recommend everyone to visit.

We had a great visit to this wonderful family-​owned farm. I scheduled a private tour for a group. Jim the owner, was very nice and accommodating. We fed the alpacas carrots and got to meet them up close! It’s a fun, random thing to do in Cape May!

Tish, the woman owning the place is extremely friendly and nice. She have is carrots to feed the alpacas. It isn’t too big of a a place so you can see the alpacas really easily.
You gotta be careful feeding them, case in order for them to secure their food they will sneeze and some casualty, being me getting sneezed on, is inevitable. Luckily, they were only eating carrots, said Tish or else it might get pretty nasty.
If you’re around come check them out, the place is free and the animals are very adorable. So there is no reason to not be here if you’re in town.
