Following the tour, we invite you to visit our 'on farm boutique' where you can discover a broad array of alpaca products and local artisan items.

'Self-Guided Farm Tours'

You is are not required to book a Saturday tour to view the alpacas at Kensington Prairie Farm.  The farm is open Fridays (12-5 pm), Saturdays (10-4 pm) and Sundays (12-4 pm) for alpaca viewing and boutique shopping.

Please remember and respect the fact that we are a working farm (not a petty zoo) and our alpacas are mostly turned out to pasture. As such, sometimes our alpacas are easily viewed from the fence line, while at other times they may only be seen at a distance.  While a self-guided tour is a great way to explore our farm and view the alpacas, booking a guided tour is the only way to ensure that you will be able to see alpacas up close and personal!
