Company information

Dartmoor Reach Alpaca Farm is owned and run by Josh and Natalie Hyson with a little help from Romy (10) and Cerys (9), our beautiful daughters. We moved here in 2015, started farming Alpacas in 2019 and opened for ‘glamping’ in 2021. The Big red bus arrived in 2022. We are a very laid back family. We enjoy growing our own meat and veg , collecting our own eggs , the countryside, camp fires and a drink down the pub. Natalie is a fully qualified yoga instructor with an on site studio.
