A small farm with a personal feel
Meet the animals
behind the names.
Cummins Alpaca Farm also goes by Ranchito de Cummins Red Barn Family Farm. Its website tells the story of a herd that began with three alpacas and grew through new arrivals and the birth of crias. The individual animals, rather than a long list of attractions, give this Los Ranchos farm its character.
The homepage also introduces chickens, dogs, and two sulcata tortoises. Ask which animals you may meet during your appointment; the private tour is centered on the alpacas.
The reason to visit
Time with alpacas,
at their pace.
The farm advertises a private experience lasting about one to one and a half hours, with feeding, petting, and photo opportunities. Its store page qualifies contact as something the animals allow, a useful expectation for children eager to get close.
Let the alpacas set the pace
Follow your host’s instructions about feeding and touching the animals. Give a hesitant alpaca room, and ask before offering any food. A quiet introduction can be just as memorable as a close-up photograph.
A little more of farm life
Fleece and
fresh eggs.
The website features raw fiber for spinners and farm-fresh eggs alongside its tour offering. If either interests you, ask what is available when arranging your visit.
For someone curious about alpaca fiber, this is a chance to ask about the fleece itself: where it comes from, what happens after shearing, and what preparation it needs before spinning. Confirm whether fiber is available to see or purchase during your appointment.
Plan a simple outing
A few details
to settle before you go.
Your group and appointment
Tell the farm how many adults and children are coming. The tour page’s fee descriptions differ on how guests are counted, so request a total for your group before paying.
Weather and access
The store page says the farm closes during inclement weather. Ask how a weather change affects your booking, and confirm walking surfaces, stroller access, or mobility arrangements if needed.
