Farm profile
Fiber animals, creative learning, and an 1850 farmstead
Clover Brooke Farm combines a working fiber operation with an unusually broad agritourism program. Owner Andrea Parent-Tibbetts is a fiber artist who has raised fiber animals since 2010. The farm’s llamas, alpacas, sheep, and Pygora goats contribute to its fiber story, while mini donkeys, horses, small animals, and sociable barn cats appear in selected visitor experiences.
Guests can choose between animal walks, educational tours, seasonal classes, youth programs, wellness sessions, and private gatherings. The property is open seasonally for scheduled programming rather than daily walk-in admission. Every visit must be booked through the farm in advance, and all participants must sign an acknowledgement of risk before taking part in farm or animal activities.
Choose the right animal experience
A hillside hike and an accessible farm tour are not the same outing
The llama and alpaca hike begins with an introduction to the farm and continues along a one-mile route through paddocks, meadows, wooded areas, and two steep hills. Participants must be at least eight years old, and hikers younger than 16 must be accompanied by a ticketed adult. Because of the terrain, the farm does not permit strollers, wheelchairs, or crutches on this experience. No unticketed companions may tag along.
The 45-minute farm tour is the more accessible choice. It follows rock pathways and flat pasture and is described by the farm as suitable for strollers, walkers, and wheelchairs. Guides introduce alpacas, llamas, goats, mini donkeys, barn cats, and other residents while discussing animal history, behavior, and respectful interaction. Closed-toe shoes or boots are encouraged for either format.
Educational farm tour
A 45-minute pasture tour on a route that accommodates strollers, walkers, and wheelchairs.
Walks and animal visits
Seasonal bookings may include goat walks, donkey and mini-horse walks, small-animal visits, or a farm sampler.
Create and learn
Fiber arts, farm-made goods, yoga, and youth programs
Clover Brooke’s class calendar reaches from the animals to the finished craft. Subjects shown on the farm’s current site include weaving, needle felting, felted fiber bowls, spinning, knitting, eco-dyed silk scarves, goat-milk soap, lotion bars, body lotion, and loofahs. Other scheduled sessions have covered painting, bread, brewing, bird projects, and seasonal activities. Offerings change, so the live calendar is the reliable source for dates and age requirements.
Yoga on the farm welcomes beginners and experienced participants. One published program combines outdoor yoga among llamas and alpacas with a hands-on lavender-loofah lesson, followed by time with goats. Participants must be at least six years old and register in advance. Summer camp, school visits, and immersive youth programs provide additional learning formats for children and organized groups.

The renovated barn supports overnight visits and private events
Two apartments above the renovated 1850 barn provide an overnight farm stay. Lodging guests can watch grazing animals from the designated deck, but a stay does not include unsupervised pasture access. Animal experiences must still be reserved separately, and pets are not permitted in the apartments or elsewhere on the farm.
The indoor barn and open-air pavilion can host celebrations, meetings, retreats, and creative projects, with farm tours, workshops, and animal experiences available as additions. The farm store completes the fiber cycle with alpaca and sheep yarn, hand-knit items, felted loofahs, soaps, lotion bars, and animal-themed gifts. Capacities, rental terms, lodging availability, and store inventory should be checked directly with the farm.

Match the reservation to your group
Clover Brooke is one of the more activity-rich New York alpaca farms, but the right choice depends on the group. The hillside hike fits older children and adults comfortable with steep natural terrain, while the shorter farm tour provides a more accessible introduction to the animals.
Visitors interested in the farm’s classes and store can read about how alpaca fiber is used. Anyone planning an outdoor reservation should also review when to visit an alpaca farm, since weather, footing, and seasonal schedules can change the experience.
