Just went here today and we booked snow shoeing from 10 am to 11am. Of course, as college students, we were late... 40 minutes late. However, Danielle and her team were VERY accommodating, and we ended up staying and chilling with the goats (as well as the AMAZING Leonidas (goat guard dog)) until 11:40. We were even given treats to feed the goats (and horses) as we walked around the farm. The staff is SUPER friendly and we had great conversations. We were even treated with complimentary donuts and tea/coffee over a bonfire after our walk. Would love to come back soon with a bigger group!

Took 4 kids ages 10-19 and we had the best time! They do a great job to make sure everyone who wants it gets plenty of "goat time", and the goats are super sweet and gentle. Also was nice to get some simple yoga in, but no pressure if you're new to it. It exceeded all of my expectations, thank you so much!

Went with a semi large group. The instructors were so incredibly nice, they talked you through everything and were very personable. The goats were well mannered and cared for. I had a lovely experience and my group went home happy. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience for our family and friends. We had so much fun doing yoga (all levels were welcomed) and interacting with the goats. The goats are curious animals and appeared to have as much fun with us as we did with them.

I love this place and the people who run it...and, of course, the goats! We had a fun Sunday morning outing snowshoeing with the goats, meeting Leo (the owner's beautiful Spanish Mastiff), feeding the horses and enjoying being outside on the farm. I can't recommend this experience enough!

This was absolutely the best yoga I’ve done - Goat Yoga. The goats were super friendly and so loving. The trainer was great. She guided us from start to finish, explaining everything about what goat yoga entails and what we should expect. She was great! She explained their mission and it’s fascinating what they do for the community and the adorable goats. I will definitely be coming back for more.

My new happy place!! Danielle, her family, and crew are so welcoming, kind, and hard-working. LOVED snowshoeing with them and the goats. Bonus interacting with the neighbor's horses, donkeys, and mini horse. They provided hot beverages & a roaring fire at the end to top off a one-of-a-kind experience. Thank you SO much...you guys have an amazing mission and we can't wait to come back soon!
