Amazing Graze Alpacas is located just north of Stirling off Highway 14. We have been breeding alpacas since 2003 and continually strive to improve. As testament to our efforts, our award winning alpacas are producing award winning fleeces! Our primary focus is breeding stock but we also have a small selection of hobby/fibre/companion animals available - these animals are conformationally correct and viable fibre producers that don't quite meet our breeding program criteria.
There is always a friendly welcome from our friendly guides and you can pick up an audio wand and watch our vidoes as you go round. Recall the hazy, lazy days of summer in the apple orchard. Watch the bees in the bee hive as they come and go collecting honey. Savour the warmth of an old farmhouse and stop at the 1940os restaurant with an authenic juke box.
Harold and Rose Enright run Happy Valley Farm near Read in Tyendinaga. Harold is an expert horseman and uses his pairs of Belgian horses for sleigh rides for special events, for logging in the winter and for working on the farm in summer.
We have been alpaca farming since 2009 and will go a long way to help other newcomers discover the beauty and joy of raising alpacas. We offer breeding and hobby farm stock and welcome farm start-up inquiries. Alpacas offer an elegant fleece that surpasses all other natural fibres in warmth, softness and range of natural colours.
