About the serviceprovider
Ganster Family
Pöllauer Tal Alpacas
Our hearts beat for alpacas and llamas.
Since 2018, Anna and Johannes Ganster have turned their love for alpaca animals into a hobby, starting with two pregnant mares and a young stallion in their first small herd. When the first little alpaca babies (crias) came into the world at the farm, the hobby became a passion. The alpacas are surrounded by lush, mineral-rich pastures in the beautiful Pöllauer Tal Nature Park. All the animals on the farm are registered, microchipped, vaccinated, and regularly dewormed. Anna and Hannes continually educate themselves through professional and experienced alpaca breeders and love the personal contact with the animals. Each animal is unique and has its own individual personality and charm. Currently, 25 alpacas and 4 llamas reside on the small farm of the Ganster family.
"We, the alpacas and llamas, look forward to some cuddle time with you and are also happy to take walks with young and old." You can also purchase cuddly alpaca products at our farm.
