Heritage Farm in Flora, Indiana is a family-friendly alpaca farm about an hour from Indianapolis where visitors can meet, feed, and learn about alpacas, explore a 120-acre property with a Bicentennial barn, and choose from day visits or overnight farm stays. It’s an easy day trip from Indianapolis, packed with hands-on animal encounters, trails, and plenty of fresh-air fun.
Heritage Farm is a working Suri alpaca farm with over 60 alpacas you can see, touch and interact with. Visitors can book an overnight stay on the 120-acre property in several lodging options, or just visit for the day. Owners Tim and Beth Sheets love introducing guests to farm life and alpaca care.
Farm Animals
In addition to alpacas, visitors can meet resident chickens, goats, a horse and friendly farm dogs (including black Lab Juno). Guests can help with daily chores at their comfort level—feeding animals, collecting eggs and more—while learning about alpaca fiber and farm life.
