Come experience Alpaca kisses and you’ll be hooked! We want to welcome you to Little Foot Alpacas. We are located in the heart of the Thousand Islands and just 40 minutes from Ottawa. Our farm is nestled just outside of Spencerville, Ontario. We are brimming with pride from this beautiful Peruvian Huacaya herd.
Alpacas are a domesticated member of the camel family. They originated in the South America, and were brought to North America about 30 years ago. Alpacas are intelligent creatures and quick to learn. Every alpaca has its own personality and comfort zone. Being calm and gentle will help them approach you much quicker and you may get to enjoy a scratch on their necks. They are revered for their luxurious fibres that are light weight, extremely warm, and its water-proof qualities make it perfect for many purposes. Alpaca fibre is non-allergenic. It is extremely comfortable to wear.
We have a very specific mixture of different coloured alpacas, with an intentional blend of premium alpacas. Each animal has its own personality and unique qualities.
We are fully registered with CLAA and AOA. Our alpacas are championship stock. We proudly boast we have some of the best premium stock available.
Shawn and Caroline Carmicheal are thrilled you found us!
Little Foot Alpacas is part of a 5th generation farm where they manage beef cattle and hundreds of acres of crops. Caroline developed a love for Alpacas on an exciting trip to Peru. Caroline began to learn everything she could about these lovely, passive creatures – their care, breeding and all important fibre. After years of research, training and workshops, Caroline gained enough knowledge that she felt ready to introduce these animals to our farm.
Shawn is super handy and decided he wanted to build a new barn for these additions to the farm. The barn plans began, and Shawn quickly built a custom timber-frame barn designed especially for these adorable creatures. Shawn used custom-milled, local wood, and hand-crafted each piece of lumber to construct an amazing Air B&B and farm shop.
Come experience our Luxury Air B&B. Enjoy an alpaca farm stay and see how we operate our farm. Enjoy the tranquility of these adorable passive animals and experience what a day on the farm is really like.
Working together Shawn and Caroline created a vision of a place for people to come and enjoy these animals for therapy and healing. People can come from afar and experience farm-life, escape the rush of every day life, create special memories, and become grounded.
Don’t forget to visit with Bella our Alpaca Guardian dog. She is just too cute.

Our greenhouse was built to help provide our alpacas with fresh greens all year long. However, we also grow many unique varieties of cactus, succulents, and tropical plants.
