Every goat at The Great Goat Escape has their own personality, story, and way of connecting with people.
Some love cuddles, some prefer hikes, some are quietly independent — but all are deeply loved and cared for.
Scroll through and get to know them.
Meet the Herd
Pebbelina
Born: At The Great Goat Escape
Personality: Affectionate, gentle, people-loving
Loves: Cuddles, attention, and being close
Special role: First goat adopted through our adoption programPebbelina’s Story
Pebbelina is the heart of our herd and the first goat to be adopted through our adoption program. From the moment you meet her, it’s clear that she thrives on connection.
Born right here at The Great Goat Escape, Pebbelina has always been drawn to people. She’s calm, affectionate, and happiest when she’s close — whether that means leaning in for a cuddle or quietly soaking up attention.
Her gentle nature makes her a favorite with guests of all ages, and she has a special way of making people feel welcome the moment they arrive.
Pebbelina represents what our herd is all about: trust, gentleness, and the joy of slowing down and connecting.
Adoption Status 🤍
Pebbelina has already been adopted and holds a very special place as the first goat to be symbolically adopted.
Adoptions help support the care, enrichment, and wellbeing of our herd and allow each goat’s story to be shared beyond the farm.
Tonic
Born: Here at The Great Goat Escape
Coat: Long-haired (silkie genetics)
Personality: Independent, curious, mysterious
Loves: Going on hikes
Not so much: Long cuddle sessionsTonic’s Story
Tonic is our only long-haired goat — a beautiful genetic throwback tracing back to a silkie. His soft, flowing coat gives him a slightly wild look, and his personality matches.
Born right here on our land, Tonic has always done things his own way. In the summer months, he becomes our quiet escape artist. No broken fences, no witnesses, and never a single goat follows him. Somehow, Tonic always finds his way back home.
While he isn’t much of a cuddler, Tonic loves joining our hikes, walking alongside us as if he has a destination in mind. He’s thoughtful, observant, and quietly confident — the kind of goat who reminds us that connection comes in many forms.
Adoption Status 🤍
Adopt Tonic 🤍
Tonic is available for symbolic adoption. Adoptions help support his care, enrichment, and the rest of the herd — and come with a personalized digital certificate.
Annika
Swiss Dairy Goat - Oberhasli
Annika is one of our big girls — a Swiss dairy goat of the Oberhasli breed.
She’s calm, friendly, and carries herself with a gentle confidence.
Born and raised here, Annika loves joining our hikes and is always happy to stop for a snuggle along the way.
She’s now hopefully pregnant for the first time, and we’re excited for what this next chapter may bring — including the possibility of sharing fresh goat milk with our family.
Strong, gentle, and full of promise — this is Annika.
Buddy
Buddy came to us when he was only two weeks old, a tiny bottle baby who quickly found his place in the herd.
From the beginning, Buddy showed a confident and curious nature. He’s not shy about meeting new people or animals and seems to make friends wherever he goes.
As he continues to grow, it’s clear that Buddy will become one of the bigger goats in the herd. We’re already seeing the beginnings of a strong and steady personality that may one day make him a natural leader on the trail.
For now, Buddy is learning, exploring, and enjoying his bottle feeds while growing into the goat he’s meant to become.

Macchiato
Hazel Nut’s Macchiato – Adopted by Nicole (2026)
Born on our farm to Hazel Nut, Macchiato is one of our favorite hiking companions. With bright blue eyes and his little tee beard, he brings curiosity and kindness to every trail. Nicole will receive seasonal updates from Macchiato throughout the year as part of her adoption.
Filbert
Filbert’s Story
Filbert was born and raised here on the farm and is the son of Delilah. From the beginning, he has had a quiet and cautious personality.
Unlike some of the other goats in the herd, Filbert prefers to keep his distance. He doesn’t join the hikes and isn’t much interested in cuddles. Instead, he enjoys observing the activity from a comfortable distance where he feels safe.
Every now and then he may wander over for a treat, but Filbert likes to interact on his own terms.
While he may not be the most social member of the herd, Filbert reminds us that every animal has their own personality and boundaries — and that respecting those differences is part of caring for them well.
His unofficial job on the farm is simple:

Guest Note 🤍
If you see Filbert during your visit, feel free to admire him — but please allow him his space unless he chooses to come closer.
Adoptions are symbolic and help support the daily care, feed, veterinary needs, and enrichment of our goats.
