Farm Open Days: Saturday May 24th & Sunday May 25th

We have had to cancel the Open Days planned for 3rd May & 4th May. Sorry.

This means that our next Open Days will be the Bank Holiday weekend of Saturday 24th & Sunday 25h May.

As well as a chance to meet the alpacas and enjoy a leisurely farm walk, there will also be an opportunity to learn how to knit with alpaca yarn (Sunday only) and of course purchase something alpaca.

Entrance fee: Adults £4, Children £2 or Family ticket £10.

You will need to bring along sensible footwear (possibly wellies dependent on weather) and please note - No Dogs are allowed.


November 20th

Melford Green launch "Adopt an'Alpaca" scheme - An Ideal Christmas Present.

Each adoptive parent will receive a personalised adoption certificate, which will also entitle them to a guided tour of the farm where they can help with the feeding and meet their adopted cria. Throughout the year they will also receive two personalised updates on the progress of their animal and copies of the Melford Green newsletters. Cost of adoption = £30.

Many people have been asking us about such a scheme, and now seemed the most appropriate time to start given that we are just beginning to wean the cria (baby alpacas) from their mums and so are sure they'll appreciate having new, adoptive parents.

Such schemes have been hugely popular at zoos where they enable people to learn more about their adopted animals; and so we hope that people that are looking for an idea that is local, educational and unique will consider adopting a Melford Green Alpaca.

From this Saturday and every Saturday until Christmas we will be opening from 10.00am - 2.00pm for the sale of Suffolk-produced alpaca fleece, yarns and alpaca fashion items such as scarves and wraps, which all make ideal Christmas presents.

There will also be an opportunity to walk around the farm and meet the alpacas, including Aspel and the Bond Girls. (Adults £4.00, Children £2.00; family ticket £10.00).

Please bring sensible footwear and I'm afraid No dogs are allowed.
