please read below for details

**Please be aware that we are a working farm- be sure to look for and obey all signage regarding parking, pathways, and areas to which the public does not have access (its for your safety!). We regret that we do not have a public restroom**
Weekend visiting options
To visit the baby goats on Saturdays or Sundays you
MUST have either a bottle feeding ticket or a private snuggle reservation.
Due to variability in weather and birth timing, tickets and reservations will go on sale approximately 1 week in advance
No refunds are available except with 3 days advance notice.
Bottle Feeding
1 ticket= 1 bottle. Attendance is limited to ONLY those with a ticket, except in the case of children- each ticketed child under 12 may be accompanied by 1 adult. For example, if you have 2 children for whom you purchase tickets, you may bring 2 adults. If you are coming with an adult group all individuals must purchase tickets to enter the baby goat pen. There is no age limit for bottle feeding, but in our experience children under 3 generally need help from an adult. We appreciate your cooperation.
Our babies are hungry at feeding time, so feedings start promptly at the time listed on your ticket- please consider arriving 10 minutes early. If you are late, your baby will be fed by someone else. Each bottle feeding ticket entitles you to 1 hour of visiting with the baby goats. If your feeding is at 10am you may then stay to visit after the feeding until 11am. After that you must leave so the next group can enter.
Please wear sensible clothing- baby goats love to climb & jump on you and you may get dirty!
Please wash or sanitize your hands prior to entering the pen and upon exiting- goats can carry germs that can make people sick. Some people are more likely to get sick: babies, pregnant women, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. We make every effort to ensure our visitors safety but due to the inherent risks involved in interacting with animals visiting is done at your own risk.
Private Snuggle Sessions
Enjoy a private snuggling sessions with the babies on the weekends! Each reservation is good for 1 hour of snuggling for you and your group. Your reservation starts and ends promptly at the time listed on your ticket. Please be considerate of other groups and leave promptly at the end of your hour. Please note that snuggling sessions do NOT include feeding the babies. There is no limit to the number of people you can bring, but it starts to feel crowded in the pen when there are more than 20 or so people and in the case of inclement weather the small barns in each pen comfortably accommodate only 5-8 people.
