Event Overview
Alpacas After Hours: Rewind & Unwind is a monthly age 20+ evening experience designed for intentional relaxation, nostalgic music, and meaningful reconnection — all set within the calm rhythm of the alpaca pasture.
Guests bring their own evening meal, beverage (No Alcohol-insurance regulation), and settle into the pasture for a 90-minute reset from the noise of the week.
Each group or couple receives:
-
A bucket of alpaca feed
-
Access to the 12’ community picnic table
-
Rockers, open pasture seating, and lawn space

Why This Works — And Why It Matters
Alpacas naturally promote physiological calm.
Their slow grazing patterns, soft humming, rhythmic chewing, and steady herd dynamics signal safety to the human nervous system. This encourages a shift from sympathetic activation (stress response) into parasympathetic regulation (rest and restoration).
When paired with familiar music from the 1960s through the 1980s — decades associated with formative memories — the emotional effect deepens.
Nostalgic music:
-
Activates autobiographical memory pathways
-
Encourages dopamine release
-
Strengthens social bonding
-
Invites storytelling and shared recollection
Combined with:
-
Golden-hour sunlight supporting circadian balance
-
Open pasture space and fresh air
-
Limited capacity (maximum 30 guests)
-
An alcohol-free environment
-
Freedom to engage or disengage
The outcome is intentional decompression.
The alpacas move slowly.
The pasture remains steady.
The music invites memory without demanding energy.
In a culture of constant stimulation, this structured slowing becomes both rare and restorative.
ADA Compliance
Deaf
We are committed to making our farm tours accessible and enjoyable for all guests. While we are not able to provide a physical sign language interpreter, we do offer our full tour information in written form to ensure effective communication. This includes key educational content, alpaca information, and tour details so that all visitors can fully participate in and enjoy their experience. Please let us know in advance if you would like these materials, and we will be happy to provide them.
Wheelchairs/Electric Chairs/Walkers
We strive to make our farm welcoming and accessible to all guests. Our grounds can accommodate wheelchairs, electric mobility devices, and walkers, with wide ?????? and exit areas and a mix of concrete and gravel pathways. There is also a small ramp (approximately 6 inches in height) to assist with access in certain areas. Please note that due to the nature of our rural setting, some surfaces may be uneven. At this time, our restroom facilities are not large enough to accommodate larger wheelchairs. If you have specific accessibility needs, we encourage you to contact us in advance so we can do our best to assist and ensure an enjoyable visit.
Companion Animals
For the safety of our guests and animals, we do not allow pets or companion animals on the farm. Under the ADA, trained service animals are generally permitted; however, they may be excluded if their presence would pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others or to the animals on the property. Due to the nature of our working farm environment—with livestock that may be unpredictable around dogs—we may restrict service animals in certain areas where safety risks are present. We are happy to discuss alternative ways to accommodate guests with disabilities to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Blind
We are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming experience for guests who are blind or visually impaired. We offer one-on-one assistance during your visit, including guided support throughout the farm and during interactions with our alpacas. For safety, when in areas with animals, a staff member or owner will remain with you at all times to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. While we do not currently offer materials in Braille, we are happy to provide verbal descriptions, answer questions, and tailor the experience to meet your needs. Please contact us in advance so we can best prepare for your visit.
