Our Historic Farm
Where old and new meet.
Lazy Acre Alpacas is a family-run farm located in Bloomfield, New York. Founded in 2000 by Mark and Sharon Gilbride, the farm is set on 100 acres in the rolling hills of the Finger Lakes. The alpacas enjoy lush pastures and comfortable loafing sheds and the excellent facilities allow for healthy, happy animals. The original farm dates back to the 1850s.
Our idyllic country farm can be found just 30 minutes away from Rochester in the scenic Finger Lakes area, known for its vineyards, breweries, antique stores, and good country living.
Agritourism is a big part of what we offer here at Lazy Acre Alpacas. It is a program provided by farms to educate people on livestock care, farm history, and products produced on the farm. We offer tours for individuals, families, school groups, senior and assisted living, and bus tours through online registration. Tours with special needs should call the shop at 585.455.1203 for more information.

Alpaca Garment Care: Most alpaca garments should be hand-washed with a gentle shampoo. Always blot, never wring. Some can be dry cleaned; always consult garment label. Fur products, like hats and stuffed animals, will become new again with a spot wash and gentle brushing. Many, but not all alpaca socks, can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Using a "delicates" bag and turning them inside out is recommended. Lay garments and socks flat to dry to retain shape and ensure sustainability and longevity. Always read packaging or garment labels for care instructions. We are not responsible for garments after they leave the store. Pro tip: Fold and store your hanging garments in a drawer or bin in the off-season. Excessive hanging will cause stretching. Use breathable or cotton bags. Air tight bags can lead to mildew and yellowing. No mothballs! Lavender sachets or cedar blocks are best for odor.
Welcome to the Farm
We might be all about the lazy out here, but we actually work hard to give our visitors a great experience. Due to the increase in visitors to the farm over the past 5 years, we no longer take tour groups into the pastures (as this video depicts), as it causes stress for the alpacas and concern for the tour guides. The alpacas are fed from the fence lines. With careful consideration, you should be able to pet the alpacas necks through the fence. Our Alpaca Etiquette signs posted around the farm will help you better understand alpacas. Take as many photos as you like. The alpacas don't mind.
