Four distinct farm accommodations
Guests pick from a spacious Farm House Suite with en‑suite and a king bed (sleeps up to 4), the insulated Alpaca Bunkie with a queen and outdoor firepit (sleeps 2), or one of two Yomes—each a year‑round queen bed unit with seating, futon and outdoor firepit (sleep up to 4). Bathrooms are nearby for the bunkie and yomes; every stay includes the farm breakfast in the Screaming Goat Café.
The Signature Goat Shmurgle
An hour‑long, Haute Goat original: take the Nigerian Dwarf goats into open fields, help herd them into the Goat Playground, watch youngsters play and older goats doze, then snuggle, scratch and photograph the herd under staff guidance.
The Alpaca Knuffle Shuffle
A guided introduction to the herd—meet individual alpacas, learn their personalities, halter up (alpacas are typically shared between two people) and hike through the fields before returning for a paddock‑side selfie tutorial.
