The Experience

I'm Mo and I'm looking for travellers who'd be interested in helping on a small alpaca farm. There is also some building renovation . You will need to be really comfortable with animals as there are 3 dogs and three cats who are also part of the family which includes a small herd of 42 alpacas. I work with the fibre from the alpacas and there is always outdoor work to do on the farm. English is our first language and I speak quite good French.

This was really amazing experience. 🤩Alpacas are really cute and funny; the food was wonderful 10/10 ; learned how to fix a fence and did some wool carding. Absolutely enjoyed my stay with amazing hosts - Mo and Stewart ☘️☀️
