Route Schematic
Simple route: arrival, mingle, and wrap
Stops cover arrival on the farm, the outdoor mat-based mingle with the goats, and contingency shelter in the barn if the weather turns.
Arrival at the family farm (by appointment)
Guests arrive at the private 45-year-old family-run farm on 55 acres in Georgetown; the site is open only by appointment and hosts classes on specified schedules.
Outdoor mingle on the grass
Classes take place outdoors on verdant grass overlooking the pond: sit on your mat or towel, interact with the baby goats, feed treats and learn about their care.
Inclement-weather move to the barn
If the weather forces a change, sessions relocate inside a five-story post-and-beam barn with hardwood floors to continue the mingle indoors.
Finish: photos and departures
At the close of class guests often take photos (the operator may share images on social media later); gather your belongings and follow any instructions from staff about final headcounts for private events.
Be prepared to remain seated on the mat for the session; goats may jump on participants and have small horns and hooves—attendees should be able to sit still and avoid baby carriers or strollers.

What the mingle feels like
You settle onto a mat or towel on a patch of lawn, the goat kids leap and circle, and the host guides the group through gentle petting, brushing and treat-feeding while answering questions about health and husbandry. The tempo is relaxed but lively: goats will jump, climb and sometimes walk on participants, so the experience is tactile, immediate and occasionally unpredictable.

Practical planner
Details to review before reserving
Bring a yoga mat or towel to sit on (you can reserve one in advance for $5, payable on arrival), and a phone or camera for photos. Leave large bags and water bottles in the car to keep the area uncluttered and prevent goats from knocking items over.
The farm provides a portable bathroom, a hand-wash station, hand sanitizer and a trash barrel. If a class includes food, guests receive either an on-site offering or a food voucher to a local business.
If you prefer not to bring your own mat or towel, reserve one for $5 and pay on arrival; expect the sitting surface to get dirty during outdoor sessions.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
