The farm breeds various breeds of alpacas, including Huacaya and Suri types, which are rare in this northern latitude.
Alpaca wool is naturally hypoallergenic because it does not contain lanolin, unlike sheep's wool.
The animals on the farm are trained to be socialized, making them calm enough to interact with children and families.
The farm actively participates in the local Pärnu rural economy by processing fiber from their own herd.
Llamas are kept alongside alpacas for their protective instincts, often acting as guards for the herd.
Alpakafarm OÜ is a specialized animal husbandry farm located in the Pärnu region of Estonia, home to a significant herd of alpacas, llamas, and other farm animals like goats and rabbits. The facility focuses on animal-assisted interaction, allowing visitors to walk through enclosures and feed the animals directly. It operates a retail shop on-site that sells textiles made from alpaca wool, including yarn, scarves, and mittens. The farm layout is designed for family-friendly interaction, featuring clearly marked paths throughout the pastures. It serves as an educational center regarding the life cycle and wool production of South American camelids in the Nordic climate. The farm is positioned within the rural landscape of the Pärnu municipality.
The raised viewpoint overlooking the main alpaca pasture provides the best vantage point for photos with the herd in the background.
Bring comfortable, closed-toe footwear as the terrain consists of grass and uneven pasture paths.
Purchase feed at the entrance to ensure you have the correct, approved snacks for the animals.
Check the farm's official social media updates before visiting to see if there are any seasonal arrivals of newborn crias.
Do not attempt to feed the animals human food, as it can be harmful to their digestive systems.
The farm operates primarily during the warmer months and may have reduced access or closures during the harsh winter period.
Do not chase or run towards the animals; remain calm and let them approach you. Keep gates closed securely behind you at all times.
