Did you know interacting with goats is good for you? Here's how:
Stress Reduction
Interacting with baby animals has been shown to reduce stress levels and promote relaxation. Petting goats can lower cortisol levels, leading to a calmer and more peaceful state of mind.
Mood Boost
The act of cuddling and playing with baby goats can release endorphins, often referred to as "feel-good" hormones. This can result in an uplifted mood, increased happiness, and a sense of well-being.
Physical Health
Petting animals has been linked to improved physical health, such as lower blood pressure and heart rate. These physiological benefits contribute to overall cardiovascular health.
Social Interaction
Cuddling goats can encourage social interaction and bonding. It provides an opportunity for people to connect with each other while enjoying the companionship of these friendly animals.
Mindfulness
Spending time with baby goats promotes mindfulness and being present in the moment. It allows individuals to focus on the present experience, fostering a sense of mindfulness and mindfulness-based stress reduction.
Fun and Joy
Perhaps most importantly, cuddling baby goats is simply a fun and joyful experience! It brings smiles, laughter, and a sense of childlike wonder, reminding us to embrace the simple pleasures in life.
Frequently Asked Questions
1 / What happens if the weather is bad?
Goats & Gourds is held rain or shine. If there is rain in the forecast we will have a canopy set up in the goat enclosure. The crafting activity and pop-up shop are both located inside our detached garage.
2 / What should I wear?
Please choose clothing that is appropriate for the weather and that you don't mind getting a little dirty. If you have medium to long hair, consider tying it back or tucking it into a hat to keep it out of little goatie's mouths, some of them like to nibble hair.
We also recommend wearing boots or shoes you don't mind getting messy. This is a farm, there is poop, and sometimes mud. If you have visited another farm, please bring a change of shoes to avoid spreading germs to the animals.
3 / How old are the goats?
Anywhere from about 5 months old to 6 years!
4 / What can I bring?
Bring your camera! If you post pictures online, we'd love to see them. Use hashtag #blazingbearhomestead so we can find them!
Please do NOT bring pets/animals to the farm. If you have a service dog, please contact us for more information.
No food, drinks, bottles, or pacifiers are allowed in the goat enclosure.
5 / When should I arrive?
Goats & Gourds open hours are 2pm to 5pm. Most people spend about 30-45 minutes doing all the activities.
6 / Where do I park?
Please park on the road and walk in.
7 / Are there restrooms?
We have a portable toilet on site for our guests to use during ticketed events.
8 / Can I walk around the farm?
We're not able to offer tours during ticketed events since they take our undivided attention. If you'd like to schedule an in-depth tour of our small homestead, please send a message so we can coordinate that for you.
