Sacred Acres Alpaca Farm
A Farm for the Community
Visit, Learn and Tour our Alpaca Farm in Beautiful Central Virginia
Upcoming Events
Join us every Saturday for our weekly FREE Drop-In Knitting & Crocheting Group. Experienced or novice, our easy chairs are a great place to meet other needlecrafters, ask questions, get hints on how-to with needles or hooks. MaryJane is full of suggestions for finding help in this group or on YouTube. We can help left-handers learn how to knit and crochet. HINT: Use a mirror so a leftie can see in reverse what a rightie is stitching. Or check out YouTube videos especially for lefties. Come in. Find a comfy seat. Fix yourself a cup of tea or instant coffee. Then sit back, relax and share some creative time with others. You can bring your own supplies. There’s no requirement to buy our yarns. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday! #creative #sacredacresfarm #knitting #crocheting #free #saturday
With the extreme heat we have been experiencing, we feel it advisable to restrict alpaca walking to days when the temperature and heat index combined are less than 90°. On extreme heat days our alpacas choose to remain in their barns where the fans are or hang out in shady areas. We also hose their legs and bellies to help cool them down. If you have scheduled a tour and walk on a day of extreme heat, please call or text us at (703) 945-0766 to check on your reservation. If you wish to cancel the tour due to high heat, we will gladly reschedule your tour or refund your registration fee. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. The safety and well-being of our alpacas is our prime concern during this hot summer. Thank you for your understanding.
Please stop by our booth at the December Palmyra Arts Festival to see our wonderful holiday gift items. We will have, socks, hats, scarves, sweaters, throws and many other items. There is a rain date of Sunday, December 11th. We hope to see you there!
We are open to visitors by appointment year-round, and periodically for open farm events. By car, our farm is 70 miles from Richmond, 25 miles from Charlottesville, and 50 miles from Lynchburg. We are located 6 miles south of I-64, Exit 136, on State Route 15 (James Madison Highway).
For our visitors, along with being able to meet and greet our alpacas, we have many trails through 23 wooded acres and along Ballinger Creek, our eastern boundary. Our alpacas are trained to walk on halter and lead, and guests can schedule to walk them over fields and along trails with a guide. Also available for our visitors are 2 picnic areas with tables. A golf cart is available on site to provide farm access to those who might not be able to walk easily.
A large 2-story barn, built in 2018, serves as a space for animal activities in the lower barn and the upper barn houses our farm store and fiber workshop.
While alpacas are the focal point of our farm, we are building a peace-filled environment that we hope you will want to come back to — to learn about the animals, the land and the environment we all live in, and to enjoy a place where you can unplug and recharge.

Thank you for a fun and interesting time!!
