Information & Support

If you've ever bought a product, then you know that information & support is important and sadly, often in short supply.

At Rivergum Rise, we support you even when you haven't purchased your alpacas from us.

If you ever need information or advice, we are more than happy to oblige.

All prospective purchasers at Rivergum Rise get to do the FREE Alpaca Basics for Beginners Workshop - either in a group or individually before deciding whether to proceed with purchasing their first alpacas.

It's very important to us that alpacas are the right animal for you and your property AND that you are the right owner and property for alpacas.  We'd rather not make a sale than make a bad sale.

If you need help or advice then  please phone us  (08)9062 9027 or send us an email. rivergum@rivergumrise.com.au or .
