Types of Alpaca's
Our most common question is what is the difference between a Huacaya and a Suri alpaca. Our favourite shop, The Australian Alpaca Barn states it perfectly below.
At Little Valley Farm we have both types of Alpacas and we adore working with both. We are now venturing in the world of coloured alpacas in the next couple of months - and we are super excited!
We currently have super soft handspun alpaca yarn for sale and also raw (unprocessed) fleece for sale. Click here to purchase online.

The Top 10 Birds at Little Valley Farm
It is impossible to say these are our favourite birds - but they are the birds that are mostly likely to make an impact on our guests. In a way they are favourites as we love seeing and hearing them all the time.
No.10 - Chickens
Of course our Barnvelder, Wine-dot, Italian White cross Silkie chickens make an impact, the Rooster loves to crow and the girls are pretty regular with eggs to eat and at hatching new chicks. But they are introduced here, and despite their exotic cross breeding, we know them all to well.
No.9 - Guiena Fowl
You can’t miss . Guinea Fowl especially if you are new to the farm. If anything is out of place they will let you know about it at XX decibles, and they will most likely block you from driving down towards the train. However they are again an introduced bird albeit still quite exotic outside of the homeland Africa.
No.8 Barking Owl
No.7 Bellbird
No.6 Butcher Bird
No. 5 Magpie
No.4 Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo
No.3 Magnificent Blue Wren
No.2 Bower Bird
No1. Superb Lyrebird

Yoga with the Alpacas at Little Valley Farm
That’s right, we did it! I am not sure if we did impress our alpacas but we certainly had a great time trying, stretching and laughing.
It was absolutely relaxing doing yoga in the middle of the paddocks with the alpacas surrounding us. A huge thank you to Joy, (it was Pure Joy!) and our amazing three guests.
Let’s do it again!
Follow us for our next yoga-with-the-alpacas.

Cycling around Laguna
Early morning ride from our farm into Laguna Village for a relaxing breakfast at Great Northern Trading Post is the right way to start the day.
You can now hire premium Cannondale bikes when you book your glamping stay with us. Simply contact Hunter Valley Bicycle Company or you can try-before-you-buy an E-bike - check out Cessnock Bicycle Company.
Laguna is home to the annual Gravel Grit Laguna so it has to be something special riding around the Watagans and Olney State Forest once its re-opens after Summer.

Small Group Experiences
We are exciting to announce we are partnering with a new Hunter Valley startup Dulili Adventures (or Dulili.co) in bringing together small groups of people for off-grid glamping and local experiences or ‘adventures’. These experiences are not your every day tour they are usually highly unique and otherwise unavailable.
Each experience is highly personalised based on a discussion with the group initiator.
Little Valley Farm is excited to host the people in our accommodation including tents for small groups which you can’t otherwise book in other channels. The train and Hut are also available as you will have the run of the farm. We help feed people including BBQ’s and the always enjoyable wood-fired pizza.
Dulili.co recently took a corporate group to a local animal farm charity to help build them a new animal shelter! That was hard work but really fun, but it can be anything from 4WD touring to walking the Great North Walk or going for a Gravel ride to the Watagans.
Get in touch with them, or talk to us about ideas: 0409 988 457

Alpaca Farm Open Day - Little Valley Farm, Hunter Valley
Come join us on the Hunter Valleys most beautiful Alpaca Farm.
As a breeding farm it is only open a few times a year and this November will be the first to welcome children of all ages.
Little Valley Farm is a AAA registered breeder of Huacaya and Suri Alpacas with between 20 and 40 Alpaca on the farm at any one time.
Set on 50 lush acres (in the good times!) in a natural amphitheatre surrounded by an abundance of native birds and animals. Read more about our exclusive open day on our Facebook page and purchase your tickets here.
~~ Plant a Tree for every visitor stay ~~
We plant trees all the time, for food, for the garden and to replenish our future timber needs on our 50 acre farm. But we also want to plant a tree for every visitor stay, as a way to remember all the great people who have stayed with us and also to ensure that every single visit to our off-grid farm is carbon neutral. The tree we plant we will sequest approx 10x more carbon over Its lifetime than the average 2-day visit & and overnight stay. Help us plant the tree and we’ll be proudly putting your name on it too.
Using Carbon Neutral Aust estimate of 15 trees to sequestered 1 ton per year. Carbon Footprint calculator for an average two day stay travel from Sydney in an average petrol car. There is of course high variability and extensive assumptions made in this rough figure.
