About
Join us for a relaxing session in the company of our young dwarf goats while they play snuggle and frolic around you. Our Event Leader will guide you to a location either one of our favorite spots in the pasture (on sunny days) or in our barn (during inclement weather) where you will be greeted by the most cuddly goats (babies when available). During the session, the goats may snuggle up to you or even climb in your lap.
Take this opportunity to unplug, connect with nature and just be in the moment. You can bring a blanket to sit on, or even pack a picnic.
There will be plenty of time to socialize, relax, and take pictures. We recommend this event for those aged 3 and up.
Note: no outside alcohol is permitted. We do offer wine by the glass, bottle or tasting flights for purchase.
Goat Cuddle Therapy is a year-round activity that can be conducted indoors or outdoors, regardless of the weather.
*Now offering wine tasting and goat cuddles! Enjoy a tasting of 4 wines from local and regional wineries while cuddling the sweetest goats you’ll ever meet!
