About

Embark on a woodland adventure with our charming little fainting goats, exploring the farm's scenic woods. These events may feature a delightful meet & greet with various farm animals, including chickens, horses, goats, llamas, sheep, and dogs, among others. Themes will add an extra layer of excitement to some events.

Indulge in feeding the goats treats that as we walk and share fascinating insights about goats and farm life. The walk spans about an hour and a little over a mile round-trip, navigating gravel and hilly terrain at the whimsical pace of our goats – sometimes fast, sometimes slow. In case of adverse weather conditions, we'll take an alternate route down a side street.

For safety reasons, this adventure is not recommended for kids under 4 years old, as our goats have horns and may jump up for treats.

Please refrain from bringing any large bags, strollers, baby carriers, or outside animals as they will not be permitted on the hike.
