Our farm is a llama/alpaca sanctuary located northwest of San Antonio, Texas. A rustic cabin with electricity, air conditioning may be available. 30amp available for those with an RV or camper. Tent camping also available. Length of stay varies and depends on availability & projects.

    Volunteers help with the compassionate care of animals and the maintenance of facilities and pastures. Our main focus is the care and rescue of llamas and alpacas and a safe, organized facility. Time for working is approximately 15 hours per week. Your own vehicle is needed for transportation. There are cats and dogs and free-range poultry here so your approved pet would need to be kept in a fenced area or on a leash.

    No Smoking or chemical fragrances or perfumes at our facility.
