Morning Goat Hike (Airbnb Experience)
Sat November 28, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Time to work off that turkey dinner! Skip the shopping and come out to the farm for a different kind of black friday and a morning hike through the Ten Apple Farm woods with our herd of Alpine dairy goats! Wear something orange! The goats will all be donning their orange scarves for hunting season, and we’ll have orange gear available for any hikers that need it.
A Ten Apple Farm goat hike is a two hour educational and recreational goat experience. The hike consists of an approximately one and a half mile loop through the woods on lightly groomed trails. There is some steep terrain. Children must be at least 5 years old and accompanied by an adult. (Children 4 and under must be carried, children 5-6 should plan to hold a adult’s hand during the hike). Along the way we’ll talk about the wide variety of things goats are used for, including dairy, fiber, land management, as pack animals, and you’ll learn a thing or two about raising and caring for goats. After the hike, you’ll be able to sample some fresh goat milk and cookies!
