Thank you Janis and John for an amazing stay. We had a great time talking with you and learning about your beautiful alpacas. It was a very unique experience and not one that can be found at a campground. This was an incredible Harvest Host stop.

We stopped here on a whim driving up 81. Janis met us outside her shop with a warm welcome as we pulled up. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about her craft. My fiance bought a whole bag of her hand spun alpaca yarn and a few other gifts.

Great alpaca farm in Virginia. They had a variety of goods in their store made with alpaca fiber. Some were made from the fiber of their own alpacas and some imported from Peru. Many different mittens, hats, scarves, shawls, stuffed animals, sweaters, and socks. Janice, one of the owners, also does some of her own weaving and dying of the fibers. The alpacas were adorable and friendly and there were 5 baby alpacas! You can tell they are very well taken care of. The owners offer a wealth of information and love to share it with others.

This is my opinion and should be taken as such.This was a harvest host stop for us and we loved it. Janice and John were super friendly and very proud of their establishment. We got a tour and got to feed some alpacas. The views were amazing also.❤️

This place is must see for any animal lover or family with kids. You can take a short tour and feed the alpacas and we got to pet a baby that was a little over a week old. The animals all are very well taken care of. There is a cute little store on sight that has some on site made clothing (scarfs, hat, gloves) and some authentic hand made items from Peru. Yes alpaca based clothing is expensive but you absolutely get what you pay for. If you’ve ever heard the praise from folks who have used good quality merino wool soft goods, some say Alpaca stuff is a step up from merino wool.

What a lovely alpaca farm. Janice was wonderful and a wealth of information about alpacas. My husband and I sat on front porch watching a beautiful sunset…it was so relaxing. Also, Janice’s shop was really nice. We would absolutely come again.

On a visit to Lexington today we came across the weekly farmer's market. I was thrilled to find Ridge Valley's booth, with gorgeous yarn, fiber, and finished goods. From handknit hats, socks, scarves, and jackets to high quality hiking socks everything was soft and beautiful and made from their own alpaca herd. Janis was very helpful and interesting to talk to. My daughter already took the socks I bought, so I'm going to have to figure out how to get some more!

Loved visiting this alpaca farm and store. Janis, the owner was so helpful when explaining the products they sell. Her love for these beautiful animals is evident. We were able to see them up close in the barn, and they are beautiful!

The lady who introduced us to her "babies", the young Alpacas, was amazing. These animals are adorable. I wanted to adopt all of them.

Awesome alpaca farm, owners John and Janis are so helpful and outgoing and full of inspiration. This is our second alpaca purchase and it just keeps on getting better. We highly recommend visiting or purchasing from Ridge Valley Alpaca s.

Cool place to spend a night. Not a ton to do in the immediate area. Get some alpaca socks, they’re comfy.
