Buttermilk Forty Alpacas LLC - Boasting a Stunning View and Stunning Suri Alpacas
Planning a Visit to Buttermilk Forty?
Are you interested in visiting, taking a farm tour, and/or shopping in the store? We both work outside of the home, so we are open BY APPOINTMENT ONLY and we are open to the public a few times a year for various farm events.
Call or text Jennifer to set up your visit (660-620-5546). We currently don't charge for farm tours, but we do ask that you make a donation to the farm or shop in our store in exchange for your tour experience.

Buttermilk Forty Alpacas is a beautiful small Suri alpaca ranch focused on breeding Suri alpacas which are known for their soft, silky, lustrous fiber. Visitors are welcome to come to learn about these inquisitive, charming, and gentle animals and hand-feed them. A farm store will be open for all of your alpaca needs - stocked with everything from socks to blankets, and novelty items as well. We also have yarn and roving available for purchase made from our alpaca's fiber.
The ranch sits on about 45 acres and boasts stunning sunsets and it sits on a bluff overlooking the Muddy Creek bottoms and several duck ponds. The ranch is centrally located in the state of Missouri. It is located 15 minutes south of I-70 and lies between Kansas City and Columbia Missouri, home to the University of Missouri (Mizzou). Sedalia, the nearest town (20 minutes away), is home to the Missouri State Fair (August) and the Scott Joplin Ragtime Festival (June). Sedalia has a beautiful historic downtown with boutiques, antique shops, restaurants, and the county courthouse. The ranch is also about 45 minutes north of Cole Camp, a town with a rich German history, full of antique and specialty shops as well as a few wineries. The Katy Trail, a popular cycling/running trail that spans most of the state, is five minutes away from the property.
We are also part of the Harvest Hosts and RV Overnights organizations and welcome RV guests (who are members of these programs) to come and stay for a night and enjoy a farm tour and shopping experience.
