Your visit will begin with a Meet and Greet of our many sweet-natured and loving goats. We will introduce each goats background, their BFF’s and daily life on the farm. You will walk through our bucolic pastures, past our grazing Shetland Sheep, Llamas, Alpacas and Cows, while walking your very own goat on a lead. The event is about an hour (walking approx. 1/2 miles) and we’ll be going at ‘goat’ speed. This event is Rain or Shine and would like to remind everyone to dress appropriately for the season. Hiking Boots, Rain Boots or Sneakers (closed toed shoes) are suggested and we provide both insect repellent (if needed) and single serving sealed water bottles.

Students will be guided through the recipe, live & step-by-step, by our culinary instructors.
