The Alpaca Knuffel Shuffle: A Haute Goat Signature experience !

What’s a “KNUFFEL”? A German word for cuddle, hug, and something soft.

Alpacas are known to be shy, curious, sensitive, and of course super cute. With a calm nature and a bit of trust you can easily win them over to feel their luxurious fiber and sneak a hug. Our guides will introduce you to the herd, tell you a bit about their personalities and decide who we think will get along the best! Are you confident like Feather? Shy like Anakin? A singer like Jerrica? A troublemaker like Obi? After learning a bit about what makes these animals so unique, we’ll halter them up and be on our way! In most cases an Alpaca will be shared between two people- perfect for photo ops! Rediscover a connection with nature while hiking with your Alpaca through our fields. Once we get back to their paddock, we’ll teach you how to get the perfect Alpaca-selfie, P.S - Shadow is the reigning Queen of the Selfie. Know who else likes selfies? You’ll also be introduced to our Baby Doll Sheep, they’re friendly, adorable, soft, and have the biggest smiles.

The Alpaca Knuffel Shuffle promises adventure, smiles, and true animal connection. Book your spot today for an unforgettable hour of Knuffeling, Shuffling, and Humming (a happy sound our herd makes).
