Description

General Admission tickets gets you your own goat to walk on a leash and allows you to bring up to 2 children 9 and under. It’s an adventure Winter is coming, there’s not a whole lot we can do about it, but we can embrace it. During the pandemic It is more important now than ever to get outside and enjoy the company of others, human and goat! In an effort to bring joy, excitement and something to look forward to the winter months, I will be offering weekly goat hikes. When the weather gets cold, it doesn’t mean we can’t get outside, get some fresh air, blow the stink off (as my mom would say) and enjoy the beauty that the winter months bring. Join us for an hour and a half goat hike around historic Simmons Farm, hikes will be led by Farmer Karla and her crew of adventurous, fun loving goats. Each participant will get their own goat to walk on a leash. There will be stops along the way to let the goats nibble, through the hike you will have the full attention of your farmer and you can ask all the burning questions you have ever wanted to know about Simmons Farm, farming in New England, the life of a farmer, or something else, just ask. You will see gorgeous views of Narragansett Bay from the Vista at the top of the farm, we will pass a babbling brook and meander through open pastures. We will see our pig friends, our group of belted Galloway cows, also known as the Oreo cookie cows and our funny flock of barnyard bird friends, the ducks and chickens will be there to greet you on arrival. We like to say there is no such thing as too cold or bad weather, just bad gear, so please dress in layers with comfortable, warm shoes. When we arrive back at the farm stand we warm up and reflect on our afternoon with a warm cup of hot chocolate made with the delicious milk from here on the farm! I can't wait to hike with you!!!
