My fiancé and I visited this “private home” after being referred by a friendly local store owner who provided us with a guide to Warwick that references Shalimar Alpaca farm and store as a public activity.....“Visit our farm and store” the advertisement reads. Upon arrival there were a slew of confusing signs, enter around the corner says one sign, no trespassing says another, the gate saying closed was open. So confusing.

All of the Alpaca products in their shop are also well made and reasonably priced. We would...

The farm is at her personal home so you must call to make an appointment before going. The fee is very reasonable and worth every dollar. We had almost an hour of up close time with her 50-60 alpaca, and some baby alpaca that were the most adorable creatures ever. We learned so much about them, and even got to hold a baby. We also bought some really cool things in her shop. I highly recommend this experience. We will...
