Tara's journey with her rental property and goats has been quite an adventure! It all started when her renters wanted to set up an area for goats on her 10 acres of land. When they had to move back to the city, Tara decided to keep the goats and discovered a new passion for hiking with them in 2022. As they hit the trails, the community's enthusiasm grew, with people loving the interaction with the goats and the serene walks in nature. This led Tara to start a side business offering goat hiking experiences, which quickly gained popularity. Eventually, the demand expanded to include goat yoga, events at bars, birthday parties, weddings, and even charity auctions. The business flourished, with the goats thriving in the attention and companionship they received. Tara's goats, raised to be extremely friendly from a young age, are always a hit at events, bringing joy to everyone involved. So come on out, join us for an event, and meet our fat and happy goats - guaranteed no head-butting of humans here!

Short answer is no. We bring in male goats that are looking for rehoming, and give them a cozy home filled with love and adventure until they move to their permanent homes. The wethers and bucks are generally less desirable to others, but we love them!

Once they settle in, they join our events and baby goat yoga program. Because so many people see how happy and friendly they are, the baby boys find homes relatively quickly.

We also breed minimal goats each year. The county has indicated that we must sell our own babies to continue to keep our agricultural tax status, which is needed to continue our operation. The tax break is significant. That is the only reason we breed. Those babies are usually dam raised, meaning raised by mom.

Sometimes! As long as we are not at max capacity, there are certain situations where we will take rescues goats. If you are looking to relinquish your goats, they must be CAE, CL, and Johne’s tested for the protection of our herd. Vaccinations can be done when the goat arrives. Please fill in a general inquiry form below.

Our goats who do yoga, events, and hiking only do these activities if they seem excited about it. I strongly encourage you to check out our instagram videos to see how we operate insta: @guidedgoathikes. If a goat is indifferent or resistant, we pull them from the program.

We LOVE when people visit our farm to see how our farm operates.

Located on ten acres in Conifer, Colorado, our property strictly enforces a limit of 40 goats to ensure optimal care and attention for each animal. Every goat undergoes annual testing for CAE and Johnes diseases, in addition to receiving their CD&T vaccine, which acts as their tetanus shot. While we do these blood draws and vaccines on our own, our vet comes out annually to do an analysis on our herd.

To maintain the pristine condition of our fields, we have a team of 50 diligent chickens that expertly sift through the dirt, picking out any hidden treasures and ensuring that our surroundings remain impeccably clean. Our commitment to the well-being and health of our goaties is reflected in the meticulous care and attention to detail that we provide on our property.

*we also have a tractor that we use to drag the fields to turn up dirt and encourage new growth*
