Craft, Cuddle, Repeat: Seasonal Workshops with Goats & Alpacas in Georgetown
Seasonal, instructor-led craft sessions on a working farm where participants meet baby goats and alpacas while making rustic keepsakes—useful for planning timing, age suitability, and what to bring.
Craft, Cuddle, Repeat: Seasonal Workshops with Goats & Alpacas in Georgetown.
On a small Georgetown farm run by Goats To Go, seasonal workshops pair hands-on crafting with a warm, animal-led social: in cooler months you work in the heated main barn alongside goats and alpacas; in late spring and summer the classes move outdoors to the Covered Bridge Picnic Area. Led by instructor Rachelle Toth, the sessions are designed for creativity and quiet connection with nature and the animals that live here.

Barn Socials and Covered-Bridge Summers
Workshops alternate between a cozy, heated barn in fall and winter and an outdoor series at the Covered Bridge Picnic Area during summer, giving each session a distinct countryside atmosphere.
