Butler County has the privilege to host several beautiful farms like Asgard Acres Alpaca Farm and WestPark Alpacas where you can visit these funky, furry friends and learn some fun-paca facts while you’re out exploring.  

Alpaca fur is incredibly soft and hypo-allergenic; making it a superb material for clothing and other items. Visitors to our local alpaca farms can shop through a wide variety of alpaca goods in addition to meeting and feeding these curious creatures. Don’t forget to get a few selfies with your new fuzzy friends — they’re not camera shy!
