Sally made an exception to give us a wonderful private tour of her alpaca farm. My wife and I had a great time touring the farm, meeting and feeding the alpacas, and talking with Sally. Highly recommended.

Sally is absolutely amazing. The care and love she has for her Alpacas and horses shines through. She deeply cares about her guests and it shows in the conversation we had during our day trip visit there this week. My son, who has some attention issues, made friends with one of the alpacas there, Velvet. Would absolutely recommend this place for all ages, especially the kids. Sally informed us she does yoga there as well. She also has yarn and other fun crafts for purchase. Help support our local businesses and visit this magical place!

Sally was very informative and fun. Our two favorite alpacas were Black Velvet and Rainier. That's was just because they enjoyed being loved on. It's neat to learn about these animals and all proceeds from the visits go straight to the alpacas. A great small family farm! Loved every minute!

My wife and I got married in October and were honored to have Rannier the alpaca come for photographs after the ceremony! He was so well behaved (even with little kids running around) and looked so dapper! Sally was so easy to work with and made major accommodations for us. If my wife ever gets married again, Rannier will definitely get invited back!

I visited magic meadows for a yoga event and it was great. Sally, the owner, was beyond welcoming and you can tell how well cared for the animals are. Would visit again and recommend to anyone!

This place actually holds a very special place in my heart. I was browsing things to do with my five year old and I stumbled upon this one and boy, it did not disappoint at all. Sally. She made everything so perfect! We felt like home. She’s very friendly, welcoming, warm and so knowledgeable about her children. She made sure our time was memorable. Aside from a great time, we didn’t felt rushed and she was actually so understanding as we were late too but she did still took her time with us. The alpacas was well taken care of. It was neat and clean at the farm and she also have some blankets and other Knick knacks that you can’t pass because they’re very good quality! I bought an alpaca key chain and it was something I would treasure. It’s well made and one-of-a-kind. Sally thank you so much for a wonderful experience meeting your kids! I cannot wait to come back hopefully my little one won’t be going through a phase then so I could really enjoy over there. Raving this place to my family and friends!P.s. thank you for taking us pictures! This one is really really good. You should do photography on the side 😝

We stopped not knowing the weren't open yet. But the owners stopped what they were doing to accommodate us. There were friendly and knowledgeable. And the alpacas were absolutely wonderful. My daughter and granddaughter couldn't stop talking about it. Definitely worth the trip. I HIGHLY recommend this experience!!

Wonderful farm, lives up to its name a very magical place. Sally and Mike were very hospitable and knowledgeable of their alpacas. The animals are incredible with their curiosity, amazing coats and gentleness. And there is their barn cat Samson that greeted us also. Greatly looking forward to our next visit.

What a wonderful experience! Our company booked a group meeting. Sally was a fantastic guide ! We learned a lot about alpacas. We were able to feed and interact one on one with the females. Shirley Temple was my favorite! We toured and interacted with the males. Special thank you, Rainer and Choo Choo Charlie! We even had the delight of meeting Dexter, the horse. We have continued talking about our visit and look forward to returning.Highly suggested!!!

The yarn I purchased is absolutely gorgeous! It is so soft and I love that the dye is all natural! They are very large hanks as well. Sally was super helpful with my questions and mailed everything out immediately. I love supporting local, especially when the experience is so amazing!!

Highly recommend visiting Magic Meadows Alpacas! It is absolutely worth the small cost of admission. We were so happy to support a small farm business.We were visiting the area from PA and found the farm’s website two days before we were heading home. I called and left a message and Sally fit us in for a visit the next day. Our experience was wonderful! We got to feed the female alpacas and hang out for a while with Rainier, a super social male alpaca. They were all so cute and soft. Sally was the sweetest and you can tell how much she loves her animals. She was so knowledgeable and we learned a lot. We purchased a few items that they had for sale, including a Christmas ornament to remember our visit for years to come.

My best friend and I visited Magic Meadows last summer and I can’t begin to tell you what an incredible experience this was! We did the 1 hour session where we just relaxed and were able to feed the alpacas on a beautiful summer morning! Not to be corny but it truly was magical! So much so that I got my bestie a gift certificate for Christmas so that she can go back and enjoy these beautiful animals and maybe she might even bring me!

We took our 4 year old granddaughter and we were not disappointed. Sally was very patient and really made this a great experience not only for our granddaughter but for us as well. We loved it so much that we plan on coming back again real soon.

I surprised my girlfriend with a trip to meet the alpacas at Magic Meadows a few months ago and we had a fantastic time! Sally was an incredible guide and introduced us to all the animals on the farm. It was a really special experience and we'll never forget it. Thank you!

We had the most wonderful experience at Magic Meadows! Their alpacas are so sweet and beautiful, and the experience of being able to feed them and be right there inside the pen with them was truly memorable. Sally and Mike were very knowledgeable about raising alpacas and were so kind and enthusiastic in teaching us about them. They clearly adore their animals and provided an amazing experience. Highly recommend!

We had our pictures taken there today. We got to meet the owners, alpacas and horses who were all super sweet. The owners helped our photographer get nice shots while also ensuring everyone's safety. They also showed us around the barn and introduced us to their other alpacas. I ended up bribing my daughter good behavior and pictures for an alpaca stuffy. Totally worth it. The alpaca stuffies are SOFT and reasonably priced. She's been talking about it ever since. If they have other events, I would attend. Wonderful experience.

Sally thank you so much for sharing with me the experience of coming to your home and interacting with your beautiful animal family. Every time i've visited you and your amazing pet family it brought me so much joy and inner peace to interact with your animals up close. This is an experience I think everyone should get to feel at least once in their life. The fact that the majority of individuals are so disconnected from nature nowadays is so upsetting, it makes me feel super fortunate and lucky to be able to come and enjoy a place like yours for a bit and escape the chaos of the world.

10/10 WILL VISIT AGAIN!! Had an amazing wedding Anniversary visiting this Suri Alpaca farm. My husband and I got to feed these sweet, glorious yarn producing (squeeee) adorable alpacas!!! Mike and Sally are down to earth people with an incredible knowledge base of alpacas and run a great place!!!

Our kids absolutely love Sally and so do we. Sally takes the worry out of leaving our kids for an evening or a weekend. She has done overnight stays for us, as well due to our diabetic cat needing insulin shots and our older dogs needing extra trips outside during the night. She texts us with pictures and updates and keeps us advised with what's happening while we are away, which keeps us at ease.We would highly recommend Mustang Sally Horse and Pet Sitting to anyone looking for a skilled animal sitter who truly cares about those she is caring for.
