Alpaca farming
Alpacas at Toft
The fields around Toft are home to a herd of around 150 alpacas, which are native to South America. The animals are bred for their wool and as pets by Toft Alpacas, which is based at Toft Manor. Alpaca farming was started locally in 1997, when the retired theatre director Rob Bettinson and wife Shirley moved to Toft Manor and bought their first four alpacas.
