Meet Our Adoptable Alpacas

Born 15.06.20

OUR WONDERFULLY WONKY WARRIOR

Aurora might stand a little differently from the rest of the herd, but that’s what makes her so special! Born with legs that developed a little differently, our wonderfully wonky girl is full of character and determination. Aurora reminds us every day that being different is something worth celebrating.

Aurora: For someone who celebrates what makes us unique.

Born 27th June 2010

OUR GRAND DAME OF THE HERD

The last of our original alpacas, Flora is the heart of our herd. A mother, auntie and natural-born leader, she’s watched generations grow around her. Elegant, wise and full of quiet authority, Flora is the very special girl who first showed us just how magical alpacas can be.

Flora: For someone who leads with love and a little wisdom.

Born 19th August 2014

OUR BRAVE LITTLE ADVENTURER

Theo may have lost the sight in one eye as a youngster, but he certainly hasn’t lost his sense of adventure! Gentle, brave and always looking for a new friend, you’ll often find him reaching for the tastiest leaves or plotting his next escape into the Shepherd’s Hut garden!

Theo: For the adventurous soul with a heart of gold.

Important adoption information

Christmas 2026 adoption: This special Christmas adoption begins on 25 December 2026 and ends on 24 December 2027, regardless of the purchase date.

Symbolic Adoption: Your adoption helps support the care and wellbeing of our alpaca herd, as well as the conservation and rewilding work we undertake across our farmland and along the River Ems. By adopting, you’re helping us care for both the animals and the natural environment they call home.

Adoptions are symbolic and do not represent ownership of an animal. More than one person may adopt the same alpaca.

Seasonal updates: Three adoption updates will be sent during 2027, scheduled for February, June and October. These updates will be sent to the purchaser’s email address unless alternative arrangements have been agreed.

Meet & Greet tickets: Your adoption includes either one or four Meet & Greet tickets, depending on your package. Unique booking codes are issued separately by email and experiences must be booked in advance, subject to availability.

Meeting your adopted alpaca: We’ll always do our best to introduce you to your adopted alpaca during your visit. However, this depends on the animal’s welfare and availability on the day.

Digital downloads: Your adoption documents will be available to download following successful payment. Please keep a copy for your records.

Physical gift packs: Where included, physical packs are prepared separately and are available for collection or postal delivery. Postage charges may apply.

Booking codes: Please allow up to three working days for Meet & Greet booking codes to be emailed following purchase.

A great visit for a meet and greet session at Our Back Garden today. My granddaughter absolutely loved it. The staff were friendly and helpful, making it such a pleasurable visit. We definitely intend to return for alpaca walking later in the year

Had an amazing visit today, meeting and feeding the alpacas. The hosts were really friendly and informative and obviously really care about their animals and their business. The alpacas were lovely, the hot drinks great and the produce made from the alpaca wool was wonderful; I look forward to wearing my hat and socks and I'm sure our grandson will love his cuddly alpaca. Would definitely recommend a visit and would love to come back.

We had a fantastic couple of hours with the alpacas today. Such a great place, with a lovely family feel. Laura was brilliant and taught us everything we needed to know. I’m in love with Flora and wanted to take her home. Thank you so much.
