Alpacas (and their babies) 20 minutes from loudoun county
I refuse to gatekeep this and despite not wanting it to get TOO busy, I know this week has been rough and if baby alpacas make anyone feel better than I'll be happy. The butterfly hill farm store is the coolest place ever and if you've never been it is really a hidden gem around here. The owner is the sweetest human on the planet, she makes scones and coffee and gives it to visitors FOR FREE.
She has amazing items in the store that make really wonderful gifts! She also will give you free alpaca food. One of the alpacas just had a baby five days ago. They aren't there every single weekend but most weekends, call ahead to make sure.
Just a few warnings, they do spit at each other if they are upset one is getting food and they aren't but sometimes it'll miss the alpaca or hit you. This is rare but a possibility.
Another warning is during the holidays they have santa and elf hats on and you may die of cuteness overload.
That is all. Wishing everyone a lovely holiday season!
