Discover the Magic of Alpacas: Tour, Learn, and Explore Our Farm in Stunning 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
Plan Your Visit
Sacred Acres is open to visitors year-round by appointment, as well as during special open farm events. Conveniently located just 70 miles from Richmond, 25 miles from Charlottesville, and 50 miles from Lynchburg, we’re easily accessible—just six miles south of I-64, Exit 136, on State Route 15 (James Madison Highway). Whether you’re planning a day trip or a getaway, our serene setting is the perfect destination.
Explore the Farm
Our farm features a stunning two-story barn, built in 2018. The lower level is home to animal activities, while the upper level houses our farm store and fiber workshop. Here, you can browse unique alpaca products and learn about the fiber arts.
Come meet our friendly alpacas and even take a guided walk with them along our scenic trails, which wind through 23 wooded acres and along Ballinger Creek. Enjoy a picnic at one of our two peaceful picnic areas, or simply take in the tranquility of our farm. We also provide a golf cart for visitors who need assistance exploring.
Unplug and Recharge
While alpacas are the heart of Sacred Acres, our mission is to create a peaceful environment where you can reconnect—with nature, with others, and with yourself. Learn about the animals, the land, and our shared environment as you enjoy a place to unplug and recharge.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Sacred Acres Alpaca Farm, where unforgettable memories await. Schedule your visit today!
