The farm’s signature visit
A barn tour with
a second chapter.
The Alpaca Tour starts in the barn area, where a guide introduces the alpacas and other animals and shares the history and everyday details of raising them. The farm specializes in Huacaya alpacas and is located outside Sierra Vista in the San Pedro Valley.
The visit continues in the Creative Outlet, Double G’s studio and store. A demonstration follows the fiber from the animal to finished yarn, giving families a way to connect the fleece they have just seen with something that can be spun and used.
The advertised tour details
The farm’s booking page lists a 90-minute tour at $5 per person over seven years of age. Check the current rate, availability, and admission arrangements for younger children before reserving.
The Creative Outlet
Make room for
the fiber side of the farm.
Double G’s ranch store carries alpaca products, and its tour makes fiber processing part of the experience. This is a useful stop for visitors curious about how a fleece becomes yarn, as well as people who already knit, weave, or spin.
For a longer hands-on visit, the farm advertises a beginner spinning-wheel class. Its description covers preparing and drafting fiber, understanding the wheel, starting to spin, troubleshooting uneven yarn, and learning to ply strands together.
The class is listed as four hours at $60. Ask what equipment and materials are provided and whether there are age requirements before booking. The farm also hosts the Sierra Vista Fiber Festival; check its website for the next announced dates.
A different way to meet an alpaca
Walk the desert
with an alpaca.
The Alpaca Desert Walk is advertised as a half-mile guided outing through the ranch’s desert setting. Double G describes its alpacas as halter trained and handled regularly, with this experience offering a different pace from a barn-area introduction.

- 14 and up
- Listed appointment

- $40 per person
The half-mile distance and appointment length are separate details in the listing. Ask the farm what the full appointment includes, how much walking to expect, and how weather affects the outing. Families with younger children can ask about the standard farm tour instead.

Take the story a little farther
A fleece has a story, too.
Seeing an alpaca and watching its fiber become yarn can give everyone a new way to look at a farm visit. Before your trip, read about alpacas and their fleece and bring a question about something you would like to see explained. After the demonstration, compare what you learned in the studio with what you noticed in the barn.
For another day out, explore more family alpaca-farm visits and look for experiences that match your interests, whether that means animal encounters, fiber work, or time on a working ranch. When traveling farther, find alpaca farms in other states and confirm tours before adding a stop to your route.
