Guests couldn't help but tap their feet and let loose on the dance floor, creating an incredible energy that echoed throughout the night. It was an evening of pure delight, with Che Orton's mesmerizing performance captivating everyone in attendance.

A great workshop for new alpaca owners or potential owners was presented by the Alpaca Association New Zealand on the 15th of May 2022 at Cornerstone Alpaca Stud. 

You didn't have to be a member of the association to come along - just be interested in knowing more about how to look after these beautiful, intelligent animals.

The workshop covered practical aspects of owning and looking after your alpacas, and included introductions to:

• Farm Management
  • Paddocks
  • Holding Pens
  • Pasture Management
• Animal Husbandry
  • General Health and Wellness
  • Regimes
  • Nails
  • Feed
  • Managing Parasites

Thank you AANZ for a fabulous informal day of hands-on learning.

ALERT LEVEL 3 STEP 2 UPDATE

From Thursday 4 November, our farm and shop will be open 10am - 4.30pm weekdays and 5pm weekends  (last entry at 4pm). Tino pai!

Your safety is our top priority. To ensure that visitors can keep a safe distance from other household bubbles, numbers will be limited when required. And no bubbles larger than 25 people.

When visiting, keep the 2 metre distancing in mind - if it's looking crowded then head to another farm area and come back a little later. It's mandatory to wear a face covering when you cannot maintain 2 metres physical distance from others.

Please understand that we might have to ask you to wait a while to prevent overcrowding. Why not grab a bite while you wait! Our cafe will be open for takeaways which you can enjoy in the outdoor picnic areas around the cafe.
