Welcome to...
The Very Little Llama Farm

Thank you for visiting our website. Since our passion is miniature llamas, we are delighted you have chosen to take the time to look at our farm and the animals we have been blessed to have on our property.

El Mirage captures Grand Champion award for best female miniature llama at the Virginia Classic show held March 17th, 2008, in Lexington, Virginia.    What a great way to start this year!!

 

Living in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia is proving to be the most wonderful experience and an ideal location in which to raise our elegant, inquisitive and personable miniature llamas. We hope you will enjoy our website. We are delighted when people call to set up a time to stop by our farm and personally meet these jewels of the camelid family. If it’s impossible for you to come here for an up-close-and-personal viewing, we trust the pictures and descriptions herein will enable you to get a good idea of the animals we have for breeding purposes and for sale. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have or to inquire about a specific animal in which you may have an interest, even if they might not be on our for sale page. We do our best to accommodate those who have an interest in our animals.

 

Since we limit the number of llamas on our farm to no more than 15 permanent residents, we can guarantee all our llamas are given a great deal of personal, hands-on attention, something large- sized farms may wish to accomplish but can’t always practice and provide. Cria are trained to the halter and lead at only a few weeks of age, with mama walking alongside for a calming effect. This helps to show the cria there is no reason to be frightened of us. Since we have already had our hands all over the cria at the time of its birth, or within a few hours time, once we begin to groom, clip toenails, worm, etc., the cria’s exposure to early-on human interaction makes it a much less traumatic experience. This is reinforced every time we work with them. The rapport that is established – and that is continued as they mature – benefits them, us and you, the potential purchaser.

 

Meet Cole, on the left, and Polaris.  These two male cria are only a few weeks old but have already made themselves part of the fun and games that go on at our farm.  Frolicking and sleeping; investigating then nursing; coming up to us to sniff and dancing away when they see us coming with their jackets for night-time warmth .... this is what makes raising llamas so joyful.  And now, meet Ma-Riah - our running with the wind girl who looks just like her mom, Teddi

 

Little Ma-Riah is checking to be sure all limbs are accounted for so she can run like the wind and get the boys chasing her around -- but never quite catching up!
