About Jeans Family Farm Alpaca Trekking

We are the Jeans Family. We run a small traditional family farm in the beautiful Tamar Valley. We have been farming here since 2009. We have developed a deep connection with the landscape and see our role as custodians of the land. We farm in harmony with nature, every decision we make about what crops to grow or what kind of animals to raise is prefaced with the question, “how does this help nature?” Our farm is an intricate patchwork of tiny fields, the legacy of the market gardening industry that used to be so prevalent here. We nurture the hedgerows and wild corners to link habitats so that wildlife can move through the farm landscape and flourish.

We wanted to find a way to connect with people who wanted to learn about farming and the countryside, but we also wanted to find a way to make it fun and memorable for our guests. We needed charismatic tour guides. Alpacas seemed to fit the bill perfectly. Cute, cuddly, inquisitive, they make perfect companions for a stroll through our meadows.

You do not need to be super fit to trek with alpacas, they walk at a slow pace and we stop regularly for snacks and selfies! If you can go for a 45 min walk at a slow pace you will be just fine on our treks. The ground can be uneven and sometimes slippery so people with limited mobility need to take care. If anyone in your group has any additional needs, please get in touch with us via email and we will do everything we can to accommodate you.
