The Original: Hugs & Hike with the Herd
Hands-on goat therapy
Service Description
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 there are. 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 our 15 acre property 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. If a date or time isn't available on our calendar, please ask! We would love to accommodate you if we are able! Please note: * While our goats are very friendly, children must be closely supervised at all times. * Please be advised that for those with mobility issues, the hike may prove challenging as there are narrow parts of the trail, as well as rocks, roots (and goats) underfoot. * While you might be able to get an Uber/Lyft/cab to our location, it is VERY difficult to find the same service for the return trip. Please plan ahead. *While we LOVE meeting new dogs, our goats do not. :(Please leave them home.
