Our farm waivers are written agreements that outline common activities and risks that can happen while you are having fun on the farm. Although waivers are primarily legal tools, they also serve an educational purpose by letting you know about the potential risks of an activity.  You can determine if this activity is right for you. Often, that's all it takes to understand and hopefully avoid accidents and misunderstandings.  Anyone who refuses to sign a waiver prior to the activity may not part

Each session will cover a different topic on goats, chickens, or foraging so you can learn more about our herd and the farm! We'll have fun taking pictures, cuddling, walking goats, and playing on the farm!


You are more than welcome to bring your own dinner to savor during your stay with us. We will make sure to provide a delicious continental breakfast for everyone in the morning, to start your day off right.

  • The Hay Loft - The hay loft on the second floor provides stunning views of Crescent Lake. While there isn't any heating or air conditioning, it is sheltered from the elements and breezy due to its proximity to the lake.
