About Us
We are an animal mad family, always having pets and up until Alpaca came on the scene when before, our lives predominantly revolved around horses. Luke and Tina met whilst working at Monkey World in 19..? (a long time ago) and their eyes met whilst cleaning up chimp poo. That is pretty much how its continued, only now it's Alpaca poo which to Luke's delight, is actually worth a few bob as gardeners love it!
With help from family including our wonderful mum Julie, we managed to secure our first 10 breeding females in 2017 who had some super quality bloodlines. We are so grateful for all the help that we have received and continue to receive from Inca, Popham and Patou . We did our homework and checked out many breeders before purchasing our beautiful girlies.
​
We now have a herd of 48 Alpaca including our handsome stud male “Patou Hollister“ who we purchased from Mark and Sue at Patou. With 12 Cria due this year, it's very exciting to wait and see as breeding alpaca is much like a box of chocolates, you never know quite what you're going to get when breeding a coloured herd, particularly as we have some with appaloosa (spotty) genetics and some with grey in the background!
​
Alongside Bride Valley Alpaca we also run the “Happyard” where we have various alpaca activities including walks, parties and even attend fetes and weddings.
​
Our campsite has also proved very popular with guests who enjoy watching the alpaca, especially meeting the Cria.
​
Our new project is Bride Valley Alpacas Black Gold which is pure alpaca poo that we sell for pot plants and gardening. Alpaca poo is a great fertiliser and is very sought after by gardeners.
​
We hope that you enjoy looking through our website to see what we have to offer and it would be great to meet you in person either when looking to purchase some alpaca, for a walk or the most exciting; a wedding as we love a good wedding!
Please Note: In order to book weddings, camping and alpaca experiences please visit our Happyard website:
