Dakota Ridge Farm, LLC — Attraction in Town of Malta

An absolutely wonderful time for all ages! We had a fantastic visit and tour at Dakota Ridge Farms. We were immediately greeted by friendly, happy, Llamas and learned so much about these majestic, intelligent, chill, and silly animals. Gary gave an incredible tour and it’s so apparent how much he and his wife care about the llamas, from the retreat barn for the new and expecting mama llamas, to the llama salon, to the teenager llama “living room” to the comfy barn for the elderly llamas where Gary makes the oldest llamas special fine hay and a grain puree. You will learn so much about llamas, environmental farming, and animals in general. After the tour make sure you head to window-walled lounge where the curious llamas can take turns looking at you, and then head to the “Llama mart” where you can purchase all things llama including knitters yarn from the happy llamas you just met! Ps. Before you leave, make sure you tell Liz she is gorgeous, she absolutely cannot get enough...

Want something "different" and rewarding to do? Go to Dakota Ridge farm and visit the amazing llamas there. Gary and Katrina are genuinely wonderful, kind and caring people. Their love and care for the llamas at the farm is exemplary. My wife Denise and I took a couple of these astounding animals ( Joey and Paulie) out for a walk on their beautifully manicured trails. We were escorted by the lovely and very knowledgeable Emily... who answered all of our questions very graciously. While out on the trails with these lovely llamas, I can almost guarantee a relaxing, worry free, "forget all of your problems" kind of experience. As crazy as this may sound, within minutes of walking with Paulie, I felt an incredible "bond" with him. I hope that Paulie enjoyed our hike as much as I did. If I ever get re-incarnated, I want to come back as a Llama who resides at Dakota Ridge Farms, and I want Gary, Katrina and Emily taking care of me! Thanks for a fabulous day and experience......

My family visited Dakota Ridge Farm this July 4th and had more fun than we thought possible! We booked a private farm tour with Katrina where we spent an hour interacting with these beautiful creatures! They were all were so cool and calm even around my 4-year-old son. We got to pet, brush, walk, and feed Rain, one of the lady llamas. We also meet a few llama mamas and their adorable babies, and even witnessed a mama entering the early stages of labor! I could have spent the whole day here! It was so much fun, and we learned so much. Katrina's love for these animals almost makes you want to get one for yourself ;-) This beautiful family farm is run by such nice people who - you can tell - care deeply for their animals! I highly recommend everyone to book a visit to Dakota Ridge Farm. We are definitely coming back...
