Plum Creek Alpacas is an Alpaca Farm in Prescott, Arizona and is home to well, you guessed it…Alpacas!
Sitting just 90-miles outside of Phoenix, this alpaca farm is where you can get up close and personal with alpacas and get a chance to feed them.
Our family of four recently visited Plum Creek Alpacas to take a tour and meet the alpacas and it was definitely a new experience for us.
The 20-acre alpaca farm is a breeding farm. All the alpacas are Arizona born and they can actually be purchased here if you want to own your own alpaca.
Tours
On an approximately 1-hour family-friendly tour of Plum Creek Alpacas, a guide will walk you around the property and into separate enclosures of Alpacas.
The enclosures, which each have a lot of room, separate the males, females and moms with new babies.
The owners give the tour and are very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. They give you a small bag of feed so you can feed different alpacas that approach as you enter the different enclosures.
