Holly Hagg Community Farm and Alpaca Trekking
We are a not-for-profit community farm in Crosspool, Sheffield. We use permaculture principles to grow organic food and care for our animals, wildlife and community. We run volunteering sessions and alpaca treks several times a week as well as hosting occasional events. Sorry, no drop in visitors. If you would like to visit the farm please become a volunteer, book a trek, attend an event or arrange a special group visit.

Events and visits
Our next Open Day is on Sunday 29th June 2025. This popular event gives our local community the chance to explore our 3-acre community farm, meet the animals, go pond dipping, enjoy craft activities and buy alpaca yarn and more in our pop-up shop.
We also offer group visits for local youth groups and charities who want to learn more about nature and meet the animals. To arrange a special group visit please get in touch…
