Alpaca Farming Hensting Alpacas is a family run business, here it

the local countryside of Hampshire

Here is a little about what we do…. We originally purchased a piece of land as an investment and set about searching for ideas as to what to do with it. We decided upon alpacas as a viable option and we quickly discovered just how adorable and addictive these animals are. Our journey began by meeting other breeders and of course, alpacas. Having scrupulously researched and read an abundance of information and prepared our land, we then welcomed our starter herd of alpaca to Alpaca Meadow. Now amid our sixth summer of successful birthing s and having begun to sell stock, we currently have 38 alpacas, and expect 12 births in 2015, so our herd is steadily growing. We have developed our smallholding into an enterprise and ensure the best for our animals and customers at all times. In fact, in order to accommodate our growing enterprise, in 2012 we invested in a further 12 acres encompassing a mile of the River Navigation. We have since started Walking Alpacas at our farm on the land we own in Otterbourne, see our w alking alpacas page. this website is offering information on

Investing in all our futures

Although we primarily breed alpacas, we have since diversified. and have bred other animals in the past and now mainly concentrate on the Alpacas but also include chickens (various breeds), We bred Kune Kune pigs, Grey Face Dartmoor sheep, Khaki Campbell ducks and Rhea successfully but all our efforts are with the Alpacas All are pure breeds and are registered with the relevant Society where applicable. We breed from all our animals and always have a selection available for sale. Our intention is to make the best use of our land as possible, leaving nothing to waste.
