BALLSTON SPA, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Located just south of Saratoga Springs in Ballston Spa, Dakota Ridge Farm is situated on 42 acres of creekside woods, ponds, and pastures. They offer farm tours, llama treks, animal-assisted therapy (including special needs groups), educational visits, as well as llama sales, and rescue and rehoming of llamas.
It all began in 1990, when Gary Capasso bought Katrina a llama named Dakota as a wedding present. From one llama to now, more than 60 llamas. And just this week, the couple welcomed two more llamas—babies.
