The 20-acre farm makes a great place for the alpacas to roam.

Bill’s great grandfather, Manuel Cotta, immigrated from The Azores as a young man and spent years working on the farm. He eventually bought the property, and it spent some time as a milking farm before Bill and Hope bought it from the family in 2016 and starting raising alpacas.

These charming creatures are part of the camelid family and are related to llamas and camels, but they definitely have their own unique look.

And since they have a life span of about 15-25 years, they can be part of the family for quite awhile.

Luckily, Bill and Hope have plenty of alpacas that keep each other company.

And if you can't make it to the store, you can always shop online on the farm's website.

Private farm tours, which cost $20, will allow you the opportunity to meet and feed the alpacas as well as see the other farm animals like donkeys, chickens, and ducks.
