Serene, 80-acre Crystal Acres Alpaca Farm on your way to English Camp National Historical Park has a herd of about 70 alpacas, grazing under 100-year-old Gerry Oaks. The funny looking animals come in 22 natural colors; their hair is warmer than wool and softer than silk and they are cuter than a button. Stroll the farm and browse the country store, featuring Alpaca wool clothing, toys and wool.
