Dakota Ridge Farm was established in 1990 when we obtained our first llama, Dakota, as a wedding present from Gary to Katrina.  Since then, many more llamas have arrived.  We have established a 4-H Club, and now offer llamas for sale, stud service, boarding, leasing, grooming and training services.  We frequently attend regional and national shows, as well as state and county fairs.  Our farm is proud to have collected numerous awards and ribbons. Katrina has also been nationally recognized for her prize-winning photos of llamas.  Please explore our site to learn more about our farm, our animals and our passion for llamas!

  Located in beautiful upstate New York, just south of Saratoga Springs, Dakota Ridge Farm is situated on 42 acres of woods, creek side, ponds and pastures.  Our llama herd is housed in five llama barns and crias (baby llamas) can often be seen in the spring and fall.  Dakota Ridge Farm hosts our popular hike/tour with llamas available Spring and Fall (an RSVP is necessary as weekends are booked up quickly with different events).  We also offer farm tours and educational visits.

Dakota Ridge Farm is featured in New York State's "I Right-click here to download pictures. To help protect your privacy, Outlook prevented automatic download of this picture from the Internet.

Dakota - Farm Namesake

 

TOURS:

Cost is $5.00 per person.  Come and visit over 50 llamas, the horses, and the sheep. I am also willing to take a llama out for you to walk and pet.  The llamas are very gentle, and even though they may not know you that well, they are easy to lead and take for a short walk.  The tour will most likely last about 1/2 hour long, but, you are welcome to stay longer and hang out with the animals afterwards. 

RSVP for the tours please: email llamawhisp@aol.com or call 518.885.0756 and leave a message.

 

HIKES:

The cost of the day hike is $20.00 for adults and $10.00 for children 15 years and under.  On the hike you can lead your “own” rented llama and stop and eat lunch on the trail (or back at the farm if that is preferred).  You will need to bring your lunch with you and wear comfortable shoes or boots (no open-toed shoes).   After the hike you may tour the farm and see the llamas, horses, the sheep, and baby llamas (crias) if we have any at that time.

RSVP for the hike please: email llamawhisp@aol.com or call 518.885.0756 and leave a message.
