FAQ's
- FAQ's:
What type of goats do you have?
We raise a few types of dairy goats. Mainly Nubians and Nigerian Dwarfs as well as Mini-Nubians. We pretty much open the gate and whatever goats want to participate join in.
Do goats bite?
Well anything with teeth has the capacity to bite. Goats don't have top teeth except in the back. So they may nibble but usually won't put holes in clothing
Do I have to participate in the class?
Nope! You will not offend our instructors at all if you just want to spend your class session just being with the goats.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We will post on the facebook page if the class has been cancelled. You will then have first choice of another date (except sold out dates) to take your class. We will honor class reschedule dates until the following season as we do not offer refunds
Are there discounts for children?
No, we limit our classes to the same number of people, no matter their age and we pay our instructors the same rate per person.
What ages are able to participate?
8 years old and up. We ask that children stay on their mats for the duration of the class as to not interrupt the yoga session. Younger children are invited to partake in our mommy & me style classes geared towards their attention span.
