My family and I participated in a group goat yoga session. Everyone had a blast. The goats were so cuddly and sweet. I thought they would be climbing on us but they were so gentle. The goats and sheep went around to everyone in the group so everyone was sure to get lots of cuddles. Amanda, the owner, is so sweet and helpful. She runs a great place! I am recommending to all my friends and family.

An amazing experience! Avery was so nice and accommodating to our situation! The goat snuggles were amazinggg, it was so chill and relaxing. Definitely a life changing experience and a way to heal if that’s what you need. And for the price, it’s definitely worth it. There are other animals on the farm that you can interact with as well !!

Great experience! The farm emailed me with details prior to the event reminding about things like bringing a towel for goat yoga, avoiding jewelry or skin products that aren’t safe for animals, etc. There is a blue painted sign at the corner of the drive and about 12 parking spaces in a short grassy area. Large vehicles will fit but may benefit from backing into a space! The owner met everyone at the gate. There are ducks and dogs that roam freely in this area and are very friendly. There is a porta potty available for use. This is a fun event for adults or kids; this time it was all adults. Sometimes the owner’s young daughter is present. Before and during getting started, they explained helpful information like how the goats go to the bathroom freely because they can’t control it or a reminder to remove jewelry. Once entering the covered tent area, you can lay out a yoga mat and a towel over it. Then you take off your shoes and you can hang it on the fence around the area or the staff will help put them up for you. You can keep your water bottle near you - goats may sniff it or bump it. There’s a brief explanation about the goats. There were 23 goats and 2 sheep. They all have names and like to be pet under their chin and on their sides. You don’t have to do any yoga but there is a very entry level meditation and yoga poses you can follow - if there isn’t a goat in your lap! It lasts for about 1 hour. Then there is a small shop area of products to choose from including crystals, t-shirts, tank tops, long sleeve shirts, goat milk soap (scented and unscented), calendars with pictures from the farm, stickers, some jewelry, mugs, and duck or goose eggs (about 50 cents per duck egg, $2 per goose egg if available). Items may depend on time of year. This is a small family owned farm and the proceeds help them care for the animals.

I attended the cuddle class, and it was SO much fun! The staff was very knowledgeable and shared information on the goats. We also got to pet the horses and the dogs. You sit on a blanket under the tent, and the goats will just come right up to you. Some will lick you, but most just wanted to come up and snuggle. Everyone in my group was an adult (I’m in my 30’s for reference), and we all loved it! I can see kids loving this as well. Definitely recommend!
