Itinerary

Did you know that spending time around animals reduces stress and increases feelings of happiness? You can double that when they are rescued goats! Come meet and spend time with some of the most affectionate goats that exist. Visitors will get to meet and learn about each goat and breed, as well as their rescue stories, behaviors and personalities. You'll become part of the herd when we start on a leisurely 1 mile hike on meandering trails through private 8 acre forest with the goats, who enjoy foraging along the way. Watching the goats in a natural habitat and bonding with them is truly magical. The experience is also loaded with goat fun facts, corny goat jokes and a goat scavenger hunt to make this experience the G.O.A.T. We end with extra quality time with all of the goats, who love lots of attention, allowing for plenty of hugs, scratches, and photo ops. Everyone leaves with a sticker of their favorite goat! This experience is fun for all ages - we have an equal amount of adults and children.
