Farm Tours by Appointment. Harvard Alpaca Ranch is now open for alpaca visits/farm tours and shopping on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. To arrange your tour of the ranch, please visit our appointment site HERE. Each appointment booking covers up to eight (8) individuals. Please email us for larger group visits. Note that we schedule up to two to three groups per appointment slot, so you may make some new friends on your farm tour.
We continue to offer our ranch tours at no charge, but do request you consider making a donation to support our farm or purchase something from our Alpaca Shop during your visit. Suggested donations are $10 per adult and $5 per child. As is the case with most small businesses, the pandemic and other recent economic challenges have had an economic impact on our farm. We need your support to remain viable long-term. If you prefer, you can shop online now and pick up your purchase during your visit. Thank you.

HAR's Adopt-An-Alpaca ProgramHarvard Alpaca Ranch now offers our Adopt-an-Alpaca program designed for people who love alpacas and want to feel a close connection to one of these special creatures. It's a great way to gift the love and joy that alpacas can bring to our lives. You may also consider having a group or class sponsor an alpaca. When you adopt one of our alpacas, 100% of your sponsorship contribution goes towards the alpaca’s upkeep to ensure that the alpaca is well fed, cared for, and has a safe environment where they can flourish and live the good life of a happy and healthy alpaca. For more information, view our adoption brochure or email us your questions. To start your adoption, download your application HERE. Before you mail your application, please contact us to make sure the alpaca you want to adopt is available. Thanks.
