Farm Tour at Clover Brooke: Llamas, Alpacas & Goats

Most farm tours show you animals you've already met. This one doesn't.

A guided farm tour at Clover Brooke in the Catskills where you walk the pasture, meet llamas, alpacas, mini donkeys and Pygora goats, and learn their individual stories and how to interact with them safely. The tour runs about an hour and includes bottled water and a farm pin. It's wheelchair accessible and suited to all ages and fitness levels.

The experience

Clover Brooke Farm centers on animals most people have never encountered in person. Llamas and alpacas are the draw, but the pasture also holds mini donkeys and Pygora goats: breeds with their own histories and temperaments. The tour walks you through the farm, introduces each animal by name and background, and teaches you how to interact with them in a way that respects their needs and yours. This is not a petting zoo where you rush through. It's built around understanding.

The guide spends time on why these particular animals matter: their significance, where they come from, what makes them different from the domestic stock most people know. You get to handle and feed them under instruction, which means you leave with a real sense of how they behave and what they need. The whole thing takes about an hour, so it fits easily into a day without eating up the rest of your plans.

You'll walk out with bottled water and a Clover Brooke pin as a keepsake. The farm is wheelchair accessible, and strollers work fine if you're bringing small children. There's no fitness requirement. The pace is easy and the ground is pasture, not rough terrain.

What’s included

• Guided walk through the pasture with an English-speaking guide.

Is this one for you?The tour is shared and led by a guide, so you're learning alongside other visitors rather than exploring on your own. This works best if you want the animals explained and you're comfortable in a small group. If you prefer a private experience or want to move at your own pace without instruction, a self-guided farm visit would suit you better.
