Goat Hike!
I visited this small farm on the edge of town to take my five year old niece on a goat hike! for her birthday present.
We started w a little bug spray and quickly went to feed some of the larger goats in pins.
Then the female!!! owner walked us through a gate to a lightly wooded, slightly sloped, fenced-in field w about ten smaller goats.
As we walked she would tell us their names giving us peanuts and handfuls of pellet treats for the goats.
They jumped up on some stumps in one area but their face thing was eating the leaves off the branches she would pick and hand us from just behind the fence.
The goats were very cute and fun. She was very aware of little fingers and reminded my niece of how to feed them properly.
They, of course, did bump you and can push you around if you're a small child.
There were no incidents but my niece was done after about 30 min lol.
My seven year old, severely autistic, nephew was not a fan; but if you care about that then you know each person has different sensory things that may go better w the situation.
Ultimately she did love using the remainder of our hour session feeding the goats from the other side of the fence as well as the chicken that would jump up for con kernels.
Very interesting and knowledgeable owner/operator. If you like goats you'll like this place.
