The farm has over 425 acres and miles of beautiful trails over which to hike, and we know you'll love having llamas along to enhance your nature experience. With award-winning enhancements to the environment (we participate in the USDA Wildlife Conservation program with plantings of native grasses, etc.), Seldom Scene Farm provides habitat for deer, wild turkeys, fox, coyote, rabbbits, quail, dozens of songbird species, rare plants, and other flora and fauna. The farm is along the Kentucky River in Woodford County, with views of the palisades and Lover's Leap in Anderson County.

You'll also enjoy seeing our herd of over 70 award-winning alpacas (with new babies or "crias" arriving throughout the year), or perhaps checking out our fine hand-made alpaca products such as yarn, felted hats, felted soap, scarves, sweaters, and hand-dyed fibers.

About Llamas and Alpacas

Llamas are gentle companions, and our llamas and alpacas used for hiking have had extensive training and possess especially kind dispositions!
They generally carry a maximum of 50 pounds for our day hikes, and are not trained to accept a rider (though our son rode one when he was very young).

Alpacas, smaller cousins of llamas, are bred for their fine fiber, but can also be trained to carry a day pack. We use much of the fiber from our alpacas for beautiful finished products (such as felted hats, shawls, and scarves, yarn, etc.), contribute some to the Alpaca Fiber Co-op, and sell it. We show our alpacas across the region, and sell in auctions as well as off the farm. To learn more about our alpacas and to see a current price list, visit our Farm Website.
