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.
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.
Our herd has grown naturally over the years through carefully planned breedings, surprise personalities, and a few bottle babies who completely stole our hearts. From tiny Nigerian Dwarfs to adventurous Oberhaslis, Toggenbourg and Lamancha and our newest hiking companions, every goat brings something special to the herd.
Life with goats isn't ordinary.
It's grounding, hilarious, heart-expanding, and sometimes wonderfully unpredictable.
One moment you're walking through the forest with a goat at your side, the next you're laughing as someone tries to unzip your backpack or insists on leading the entire group down the trail.
At The Great Goat Escape, we believe in slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and finding joy in the simple things. The goats just happen to be excellent guides.
If you believe in forest fairy tales, fresh air, meaningful moments, and a little bit of farm magic, you'll fit right in here.
✨ Seasonal baby goats, hiking adventures, cozy cabin stays, and plenty of goat antics await. ✨

What's Happening at the Farm
Summer is in full swing at The Great Goat Escape, and the farm has never felt more alive. Between team-building groups, family adventures, overnight guests, yoga sessions, and goats leading hikers through the forest, every week brings something new.
🤝 Team Building, School Groups & Special Events
One of the most rewarding parts of this season has been welcoming groups looking for something different. We've hosted school programs, Pathfinders, family gatherings, workplace team-building events, and special celebrations.
There is something powerful about stepping away from screens and schedules to spend time outdoors with animals. The goats have a way of bringing people together, encouraging conversations, laughter, and moments of connection that don't happen in a boardroom or classroom.
Whether you're planning a team retreat, educational visit, birthday celebration, or private group experience, we'd love to help create a memorable day.
🐐 Goat Hikes Continue to Grow
Our guided goat hikes remain the heart of what we do.
Guests join the herd for a slow-paced walk through our private forest trails, taking time to connect with nature, learn about the goats, and simply enjoy being present.
Every hike is different. Some groups spend time quietly forest bathing while others laugh the entire way as the goats investigate backpacks, untie shoelaces, or decide they should be leading the tour.
Our Full Experience Hike and Short & Sweet Hike continue to welcome visitors from across British Columbia and beyond.
🧘 Yoga with Goats
One of our newest experiences has quickly become a favourite.
Yoga with Goats offers a relaxed, self-guided practice surrounded by curious and friendly goats. We provide yoga mats and water, while the goats provide entertainment, unexpected cuddles, and plenty of reasons to smile.
No experience is necessary. This isn't about perfect poses—it's about movement, laughter, and enjoying time outdoors with the herd.
🏕️ Overnight Stays & New Tenting Sites
Our cabin continues to welcome guests looking for a unique farm getaway, and we're excited to now offer additional camping and tenting options.
Guests can enjoy a simple overnight experience surrounded by nature, wake up to the sounds of the farm, and join a hike or goat experience during their stay.
Whether you prefer the comfort of the cabin or sleeping under the stars, there's now a little more room to stay and enjoy everything the farm has to offer.
🐐 Goat Agility is Returning
We're excited to bring Goat Agility back to the farm.
Agility showcases just how intelligent and capable goats can be. Participants will have opportunities to learn basic training techniques, navigate obstacles, build confidence with their goats, and discover that goats are capable of much more than most people imagine.
More details and event dates will be announced soon.
🏡 A Growing Community
This season has brought so many meaningful moments.
We've welcomed anniversary celebrations, birthdays, family reunions, retirement gatherings, graduation celebrations, and guests simply looking for a quiet place to breathe.
The goats somehow meet every moment exactly as it needs to be met. They don't know if you're celebrating something big or recovering from something hard—they simply show up as themselves. Honest, curious, and fully present.
We're honoured to be part of so many stories and grateful every time someone chooses to spend a few hours—or a few days—with us.
🌲 Looking Ahead
As we move through summer and into fall, we're expanding weekday availability, welcoming more overnight guests, and continuing to develop new experiences for both visitors and local groups.
Whether you're joining us for a hike, a yoga session, a team-building event, an overnight stay, or simply to spend time with the herd, we look forward to welcoming you to the farm.
Thank you for being part of The Great Goat Escape.
The trails are waiting, the goats are ready, and there is always room for one more adventure.
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.
