For the Love of Goats
I’ve always gravitated toward animals—cats on my lap, dogs racing beside me, horses, bunnies… if it’s soft, quirky, or belongs on a farm, I’m in. I’ve trained horses, flown through dog agility courses, and even spent years in the polished world of bank management. But everything shifted the day a friend said:
“I’ve got baby goats—come visit.”
I wasn’t planning on bringing one home. Truly.
Then she placed a tiny goat in my arms—and life cracked open in the best possible way.
That little goat was Daisy, the original heart‑stealer of The Great Goat Escape. She’s still with me today: a seven‑year‑old queen with a soft nose, a wise soul, and (fingers crossed!) babies expected in Spring 2026.
Of course, I didn’t stop at one.
Daisy was soon joined by:
Porky — a chubby brown doeling with a golden “X” on her face and the personality of a cinnamon roll.
Delilah — our resident sophisticate. She loves porch lounging, wine nights, and human company, and is fully convinced she’s one of us (she’s not wrong).
Together, these trailblazers introduced me to a life that felt instantly right—one filled with forest trails, gentle mischief, quiet moments, and a kind of connection that’s hard to put into words. We hike, experiment with a little Goat‑Gility, watch sunsets, and move through the seasons side by side.
The herd has grown naturally over time—first with a borrowed buck and now with our resident gentleman, Smoochie, who is (very hopefully) stepping into proud‑dad duties for Spring 2026’s baby crew.
Life with goats isn’t ordinary.
It’s grounding, hilarious, heart‑expanding, and just a little bit magical.
If you believe in forest fairy tales, farm therapy, and joy that arrives on four hooves, you’ll fit right in here.
✨ Baby goats are (hopefully!) arriving Spring 2026—prepare to fall hopelessly in love. ✨

What’s Happening at the Farm
The Christmas Market season has wrapped up, and what a joyful whirlwind it was—full of goat cuddles, festive cheer, new connections, and unforgettable moments. Now, as the farm settles into winter’s quieter rhythm, we’re leaning into what we do best: meaningful, small‑group experiences with the herd.
✨ January & February are all about connection. ✨
Over the next couple of months, we’re hosting a selection of cozy winter events—think peaceful forest walks, intimate goat encounters, and slow moments that invite you to unplug, breathe deeply, and enjoy life at goat pace.
And on the horizon? 🌱
With Spring 2026 in mind, there’s a lot of hopeful excitement around the barn as we wait to see if baby goats will be joining the herd. It’s a season of anticipation, planning, and dreaming up what’s next for The Great Goat Escape.

Daisy - Delilah - Porky and in memory - Baby
Baby joined our little herd not long after the original trio. She was a bottle-fed sweetheart—tiny, fragile, and endlessly endearing. Although her time with us was far too short, she filled those days with quiet cuddles, soft bleats, and a spirit that touched my heart deeply. Saying goodbye wasn’t easy, but she remains part of our story, woven into the soul of our farm and the love that drives everything we do. Baby may have been small, but her memory is mighty.
