Are you looking for a unique outing with your family that you will remember forever? If so, we have one word for you: alpacas. That’s right, folks, if you are looking for a fun family day trip, we highly recommend checking out an alpaca farm, like Colorado’s own SunCrest Orchard.

Located in beautiful Palisade, SunCrest Orchard is a locally owned and operated farm specializing in alpacas, fiber processing, and completed alpaca products.

Home to 54 alpacas, SunCrest Orchard is also a full-service Belfast Minimill specializing in fiber processing, meaning the alpaca's fur is turned into yarn and other goods right at the farm.
