Who knew Goat Yoga was a real thing? When my work hosted an event at Barnyard Buddies, I quickly…read morejumped on board to see what this new trend was all about. Let me say, it was so much fun! A few things: + They provide a yoga mat, as your personal mat will get really dirty! + Located on a beautiful ranch/farm in Loveland. + No need for any yoga experience! The instructor leads the class with basic yoga poses, yet the focus is more of the baby goats prancing on and around you! + The instructor and her husband are really engaging and do a great job of making you laugh. + The farm hosts a lot of animals! From a wild turkey and horses, to the instructors golden retriever roaming around, it's fun to see and pet all the animals. + A small souvenirs shop is onsite with coffee mugs, yoga mats, T-shirt's and goat inspired trinkets! + Makes for a great group event! Lots of laughs and baby goat fun! This is definitely the place to check out for a unique and fun experience!

Not…read morethat I've been in many :) fear not yogi newbies, this isn't really a "yoga" session as it is the perfect excuse to be around the cutest baby goats ever! Yes, of course there is yoga involved. But instead of focusing on the eagle pose, you focus on the fun pose that is conducive to pro-goat poses! The staff was so entertaining and nice! Our instructor did a fantastic job of leading the class and was so patient. All the while a friendly gentleman (I believe her hubby) made sure we all got some quality goat action! No one left unsatisfied that they didn't get the full run yoga experience! I went on my own because I'm a one man wolf pack. But most others went in small groups or with a friend so I imagine it's even more fun when your friends can snap photos all the while there is a goat enjoying your mat. :) Give in to your inner goat loving self and enjoy the quirk that is goat yoga! I dare you not to smile. You'll never make it through without giggling!

When I got home and opened it, the cherries were brown, smashed, and sitting in brown juice. I called the farm, and they told me the top layer may have oxidized and that the cherries in the middle were probably fine. I emptied the entire bucket to check, but unfortunately, all of the cherries were in very poor condition. They looked as though they had been frozen and thawed, and most were soft, mushy, and brown.

Ok, first of all the Mercantile no longer goes by that name. It is now under the name Bomgarrs and…read morethey are very different in quality so I will go ahead and kill two birds with one stone here by reviewing The Mercantile and Bomgarrs. As The Mercantile this was a great place. The overall quality of the merchandise was good! They had ranch and farming clothes, supplies, feed for all of your rural yard pets, gardening supplies, some building supplies and more! The thing that drew me to The Mercantile almost every year(and I am NOT a farm and ranch person, despite being raised on a ranch) was going to see the little baby birds that they sold. They had baby geese, turkeys, chickens and ducks! All very adorable and very tempting to buy! I have the property to have these birds as pets but I live near a pasture and there are foxes all over so I know that they wouldn't last two seconds at my house and unfortunately I don't have suitable accommodations for them. Now onto Bomgarrs. I would give them anywhere between 2.5 and 3 stars. When I was in here a few days ago I was expecting it to be more or less the same as the Mercantile, just the name change. While that is more or less true as to what happened there are differences that the picky consumer would notice. Some of the merchandise is not quite as high quality that The Mercantile had. Some things seemed very cheap looking and the prices didn't necessarily reflect that on everything. They did have baby birds still but only a handful of chicks which looked dirty, slightly sickly and wings that looked like they got ruffed up a bit like they into a fight. There were no other baby birds here but chickens this time though there were other cages than just the three occupied ones that were here but nothing was in them. Bomgarrs also seems to have an expanded hardware section that I didn't notice as much with The Mercantile as well as lawn furniture. In the hardware section I was looking at chainsaws that I was pondering on buying because I have a tree that should be sawed down at home. There wasn't really a modest price range with the chainsaws. Maybe since I don't have a clue about chainsaws that they all come between $170-$500 but if I remember correctly from last year browsing for one there were more modestly priced ones out there and seemed liked they would hold together after you started sawing. they had a chainsaw that was about $60.00 but looked like it couldn't hold up for very long. Bomgarrs has about all of the same merchandise as The Mercantile did after those said differences. I can't say that I won't ever go back to Bomgarrs but the overall impression was not very high as to when it was under The Mercantile moniker. The Mercantile must have sold to another company or something if there is that many 'subtle' differences going on.

OOooOOOOOoooooooooo…read more....... We discovered this place when we went to the Denver Urban Homesteading farmer's market on Santa Fe last Saturday morning. Not only is their cheese 14 years old and off the HOOK with protein granules and with a pleasing punch and a mild, lingering, sinusy aftertaste, but their ground beef- OUTSTANDING. I'm a vegetarian. I whined when my man chose ground beef- the very words "ground beef" disgust me. But I ate two patties. Kid you not. The texture was perfect (juicy, juicy) and the flavor was unlike anything I've ever had. And all he did to prepare them was to add salt and pepper. This dairy also does raw milk products, but to get these treats you have to become something like a shareholder... it's a complicated, rather spendy system. But if raw milk is your jam, they're the people to talk to.

The goats were a favorite as there were several young ones that weren't much bigger than a lab puppy. So sweet! We weren't sure what to expect. Most of the cows were far away, roaming the 80+ acres of the dairy. We were able to get a mini tour of the dairy behind their storefront and to the side. Would be cool if they posted when the cows were milked so we could have planned, but all in all it was a fun visit. Weather was a bit treacherous so we didn't stay to see the cows being milked but just that they offer this is super cool! A great way to connect how milk, cheese, eggs, etc. get onto our table.
