The One Vermont Ranch Where You Can Visit With Alpacas and Camels

Published Aug 5, 2024

Growing up, many of my friends would say their favorite animal was a dog, cat, or horse. Since I've always had a fascination with less popular animals, I would get strange looks when I said I liked unique creatures like camels, llamas, and alpacas. If you're in Vermont and share my animal interest, head to Coventry Falls Alpaca & Camels in Vermont's Northern Kingdom. This peaceful haven is run by welcoming owners who allow visitors to spend time on the grounds exploring the serene setting and feeding the animals. So, if you're looking for a special way to spend the day, read on to learn more about Coventry Falls Alpaca & Camels.
