Visited this place sometime last year I think. We went first thing in the morning and had to wait for the lady to come. Parking was easy but it looked like a residential area. It was so pretty and green.

This place is laid back and the lady was super nice. It was raining and they let us walk into the little goat sheds to feed them.

The goaties...eeeeeeeek!!!!!! So friendly, funny, sassy, and open to being pet! Thanks for the great experience and we’ll be back whenever I visit...

I've brought groups of campers, ages 10–16, to visit the goats and photograph them for a few years now, since they were at their original location. They are wonderful and gentle, each with its own personality. Chester is the alpha male, and he's a wonderful model. Bambi is class clown. Bix, the most frequent human there is very nice and accommodating. The herd is a great addition to our fun and funky city. Long...
