Goat Play Dates, Guided Farm Tours and Field Trips
Play Date With Goats
This experience is designed for children but can be enjoyed by participants of all ages. Join our resident goats, Willy, Billy and Tina for an "I spy" walk around the farm where you will see our beehives, grape vines and meet our chickens, Princess Laya and friends. We will take a break at the goat barn where participants will have the opportunity to feed our goats a banana. Finally, our thirty minute walk will conclude at our outdoor learning lab where human kids will have an additional thirty minutes to explore and play while the goat kids munch on leaves and branches.
$7 per person donation reserves your play date. If you would like a private group experience you can book that for $50 for your group of up to ten people.
Goat Guided Farm Tours
Upon arrival on the farm, you will be met by your tour guides, Nigerian Dwarf Goats Billy Willy and Tina. Farmer Katie along with the goats will give you a half hour walking tour of the demonstration farm which includes a growing Food Forest, Pollinator Meadow and various sustainable planting techniques such as Hugelkultur mounds. During our farm tour you will learn about the principles of permaculture and sustainable agriculture that we utilize on the farm. After a short meander through the woods and grape orchard you will arrive in the “residential” area of the farm which includes the goat barn, chicken coop, greenhouse and tiny house that was designed and built by students! We will tour the greenhouse to see what’s growing and then we will grab some bananas from the tiny house. Guests will have the opportunity to feed our goats and chickens and see them “Go Bananas” for their favorite treat! The tour will end at the goat pen where you will learn about our Chickens and Dwarf Nigerian Goats. The remainder of the ninety minute farm experience will be spent hanging out with the farm animals.
$12 per person donation reserves your play date. If you would like a private group experience you can book that for $75 for your group of up to ten people.
