Can we stop by to see your animals?
Not quite — we’re a working farm and don’t allow casual pop-ins or traditional pay-to-pet visits. Instead, we offer more intentional, personalized experiences with our animals that provide meaningful interaction and a better sense of the farm.

What experiences do you offer to interact with the animals?
Our signature offering is Brunch with Alpacas — a cozy picnic-style brunch in the pasture with an hour of up-close time with our friendly herd. It includes fruit, biscuits, preserves, juice, and locally roasted coffee. Reservations are required with at least 48 hours’ notice, and we accommodate dietary needs.

Do I have to stay overnight to book an alpaca experience?
Nope! You don’t have to stay in our Airbnb to join us for an experience. All are welcome — just book in advance.

Are reservations required?
Yes. We require at least 48 hours’ notice to ensure we can prep the pasture and food accordingly.

How do I make a reservation?
To book, contact us first to check date/time availability:
📞 828-539-0689 or 📧 hello@durrantfarms.com
Once confirmed, you’ll purchase passes in our online farm shop. We’ll send a confirmation email and ask for dietary restrictions and drink preferences.

Are your experiences kid-friendly?
Yes! Our alpacas and llamas are gentle with little ones, and we offer kid pricing (ages 8 and under). We also have a high chair available upon request.

Do you have other animals?
Yes! We recently added chickens and honey bees. While there are no formal experiences with them yet, we’ll be offering farm-fresh eggs and honey in our shop soon.

What if it rains? Are your experiences weather dependent?
Yes — alpaca brunches and pasture visits are weather dependent. If poor weather is expected, you can choose to cancel for a full refund or reschedule (no refunds for reschedules).

What is your cancellation policy?

Changes: Add or subtract guests at no charge (refunds minus service fees for reductions).

Guest cancellations:
• 15+ days in advance: full refund minus service fees
• 14 days or less: 50% refund
• 48 hours or less: no refund
• No-shows: no refund

If Durrant Farms cancels: full refund, including service fees.

Do you have lodging on the property?
Yes! Our on-site 2-bedroom cottage is available for overnight stays, included with select wedding packages or bookable separately through Airbnb. It’s the perfect cozy home base for couples, families, or guests looking to extend their time on the farm.

Do I need to book a wedding to stay in the cottage?
Not at all. Our cottage is open to anyone looking for a peaceful farm getaway near Asheville — whether you’re here for a weekend escape, a retreat, or a quiet stay with the alpacas.

Are there other accommodations at the estate?
Yes! We’re adding two RV sites and ten primitive camping spots — perfect for wedding guests, event attendees, or anyone who loves a little outdoor comfort with a view.

Can I visit the animals if I stay overnight?
The alpacas and llamas are always available from the fenceline! While in-pasture access isn’t automatic with your booking, overnight guests can add-on a private brunch or pasture visit at a reduced rate — just ask when booking!

Are your rentals pet-friendly?
We allow up to two well-behaved dogs who remain on leash and cleaned up after when outside.
