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.

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.
