Meet the Herd: Alpaca Farm Visit in Heber Valley | Farm | Guided Tour

Set against the lower slopes of the Wasatch Range in the Heber Valley, the Alpaca Farm Visit at 1880 S 2400 E St in Daniel, UT, offers an unhurried hour or two with a small herd of curious, gentle alpacas. Corinna and her team open a tidy farm store and pasture gate to visitors who want a hands‑on introduction to these soft-coated South American camelids: you’ll learn how alpacas are raised, see demonstrations of fiber processing, feed the animals, and—when the weather allows—walk an alpaca on a guided loop through grass and sage. The setting reads like a classic Utah pastoral scene: open pasture, scrub juniper, and wide views up to the Wasatch peaks.

The experience works on two levels: it’s both educational and quietly restorative. Guides keep groups intentionally small so each visitor gets time to connect, ask questions about fiber and breeding, and take photos without feeling rushed. The farm store sells yarn, roving, apparel, and handmade gifts produced from the herd, which makes the visit tangible—learn about fleece grading one minute, leave with a skein of local fiber the next.

What makes this farm special for Heber Valley visitors is scale and focus. Unlike large agritourism venues, this is a family‑run operation that privileges direct animal contact and practical demonstrations over spectacle. The alpacas themselves are relaxed and inquisitive; their soft fleece is often likened to silk or cashmere, and guides explain why alpaca fiber insulates without weight and resists odors.

Logistics are simple: tours run one to two hours and are best for families, couples, and small groups seeking a low‑impact outdoor activity. Check‑in is coordinated through Corinna—call (435) 671‑0367 to arrange your visit. Bring a camera, comfortable shoes for pasture ground, and an appetite for a slow, tactile break from trail time in nearby mountains.

Local context: Heber Valley has a long agricultural history tied to irrigation and ranching, and small farms like this keep the valley’s working landscape visible to visitors. Conservation matters here too—visitors are asked to follow biosecurity guidance, avoid cross‑contamination of fleece, and respect animal space to minimize stress. For travelers who want a gentle, memorable animal encounter framed by mountain views and a farm store that sells what you learn about, this alpaca visit is an unexpectedly charming stop on any Wasatch area itinerary.

Bookings are by appointment only and the small-group format means tours can fill quickly during summer weekends; reserve in advance to secure your preferred time. The farm is child-friendly but keep toddlers close around curious animals. Dogs are not allowed. Photographers will find soft, directional light late afternoon, and those interested in fiber arts should allow extra time in the store to ask about custom orders.
