Shadow Pines Farm

Cut down windy, picturesque Route 102 and find gorgeous alpacas. They aren’t very social, though, so unless you’re packing a carrot, don’t expect to pet them.
It’s a place you can visit informally, either by just stopping by or preferably calling first. The animals are immensely curious, darting to the fences in bunches, long necks craning to see who’s come and then shambling away when bored. 181 Purgatory Road, Exe ter, 401-295-7859, shadowpinesfarm.com.
