We have moved! Artemis Alpacas is thrilled to share that our female herd is officially making waves in our beautiful new home at Ditton Fold Farm in Halewood.

A Season of Change Spring doesn’t arrive all at once—it unfolds gently, and March is where it begins. The herd is starting to spend more time exploring the fields again, nibbling at the first signs of new growth (even if it’s a bit optimistic this early!). Their thick winter coats are still very much intact, but we’re beginning to look ahead to shearing season and warmer days. There’s a sense of “in-between” at the moment—muddy boots, mixed weather, and alpacas who aren’t qui

❤️ February at Artemis Alpacas: Love, Connection & Quiet Companions February may be the shortest month of the year, but it carries a gentle reminder of something big—connection. Out in the fields, there’s a subtle shift happening. The days are stretching a little longer, the light lingers just a bit more, and the herd seems to sense that spring isn’t too far away. Alpacas might not celebrate Valentine’s Day, but they certainly have their own ways of showing affection. There’s

🦙 Winter Woollies & Cosy Care January is all about making sure our alpacas are happy, healthy, and snug. Their thick fleeces do a brilliant job of keeping them warm, but we still keep a close eye on everyone—especially the older members of the herd and the more sensitive souls. Extra hay, regular health checks, and plenty of shelter mean the alpacas can enjoy the crisp air while staying comfortable. And let’s be honest… they look particularly majestic this time of year.

November invites us to slow down and reflect, and we have so much to be thankful for. We’re grateful for healthy animals, supportive friends and customers, and everyone who follows along with life at Artemis Alpacas—whether in person or from afar. Our alpacas are thriving in the cooler temperatures. Their fleece is growing in beautifully, offering extra warmth as the days grow shorter. You’ll often see them basking in the autumn sun during the day and cozying up together in t

October at Artemis Alpacas arrived with crisp mornings, glowing autumn colours, and the soft rustle of alpacas grazing under golden leaves.

September brought sunshine, smiles, and seriously good vibes to Artemis Alpacas as we hosted a wonderfully whimsical ukulele practice jam with our friends The Ukestars .
