Operated by De Alpacaboerderij · Bocholt, Vlaams Gewest
Located in Bocholt, in Belgium’s Vlaams Gewest, De Alpacaboerderij offers a distinct out-of-the-ordinary group adventure that combines hands-on farming experience with the simple joy of a barbecue. This unique 3.5-hour outing is designed for groups of 20 to 70 people, making it a standout option for senior clubs, community groups, or any gathering eager for engaging, accessible outdoor time.
The setting is a working alpaca farm, where visitors are introduced to the gentle herd in their stalls and open pastures. Unlike typical farm visits, this experience emphasizes learning about wool processing—from fleece to finished products—offering a fascinating insight into sustainable farming practices. The farm’s AlpacaShop adds a tangible connection to that story, with locally crafted wool goods available for browsing.
The event includes a thoughtfully prepared barbecue, offered either before or after the farm tour, providing a relaxed social moment in a setting where nature and farming intersect. Accessibility is a key feature; the farm accommodates wheelchair users and visitors with limited mobility, and an onsite adapted toilet enhances comfort. Because the route remains flat and mostly indoors or sheltered, the excursion is well suited for seniors or those who prefer less physically demanding activities.
De Alpacaboerderij plays a meaningful role in the local outdoor recreation landscape by presenting farm life and animal care in an approachable, informative way—far from the hustle, yet part of the regional rhythm of rural Belgium. This farm outing goes beyond sightseeing: it immerses visitors in the textures, sounds, and stories of alpacas while delivering a casual culinary experience.
For groups seeking a memorable, low-impact day outdoors with educational value, combined with authentic farm-to-table flavors, De Alpacaboerderij’s barbecue excursion stands out as a rare gem in the Belgian countryside.
