Terms and Conditions

---

Reservations for events are non-refundable and non-transferable. You cannot switch your reservation for another day or another event.  If you are unable to attend your class/workshop for any reason, you can have someone go in your place.

At our Soap Making Workshop, you will be working in close proximity to Sodium Hydroxide (caustic soda, NaOH, Lye), during the class.  It is considered hazardous and can cause harm to your body if handled improperly.  Lye is poisonous and can cause death if ingested.  Lye will cause damage to your skin, eyes, or any other body part that it comes in contact with. You must be an adult, age 18 or above, to attend the soap making workshop and be willing to follow all safety and class instructions.

You will be billed yearly for your Goat Nanny Membership. You will be able to create a login account to view your account status, and can cancel your membership at any time. If you cancel your membership you will no longer be able to schedule or view member events. The Goat Nanny Farm Membership is non-refundable.  Goat Nanny Age Restrictions: You must be at least 16 years old to sign up as a member and attend a Goat Nanny member event

Your reservation may be cancelled if less than 5 guests enroll in a public event. If an event is cancelled due to lack of enrollment, you can chose to reschedule to the same event on another day, or you can have your money refunded.

Dogs, cats, and other pets cannot be brought to any of our activities.  Goats are prey animals and they will consider dogs, cats, and other pets as predators.  This will agitate the goat, it will not be relaxed for your session and could potentially endanger your pet.  For your safety and the safety of your pet, please leave them at home.  

Our farm has worked with our USDA federal inspector on our process and how we run events.  We care about your safety and the safety of the animal and have designed our processes so that people are safe, and the goats are safe.  The best situation is when two adults manage one goat, as they are stronger than most people think.  In most cases, we find that adults are also distracted watching children, taking pictures, and trying to manage livestock at the same time.  Minors can participate by feeding the animal and by helping an adult with the lead.  Minors cannot be the primary handler of the animal.

Our Farm Event Leaders are experienced in handling and showing livestock.  The Farm Event Leader will always make the final decision on how goats are assigned because they understand the strength of the animal and know how it will behave. They will make the decision when a party shows up for the event, and based on how many capable adults are in the same group.  

If you would like to work with an animal, you will need both hands free and to devote your full concentration.  Please leave purses, backpacks, beverage cups, and other items that require to be held so you can focus your attention on the animal.  Animal handlers must be: 

• at least 18 years old 
• physically fit, strong, and healthy enough to control an animal 
• capable of handling a farm animal that at times will pull to graze or investigate situations 
• comfortable working with a farm animal that is on a lead and able to keep hold of the lead 
• able to follow the safety and handling instructions of the farm event leader 
• able to free up and work with both hands  - not holding drinks, cameras, backpacks, purses or other items 
• able to dedicate 100% of their attention to the handling of the animal - not distracted with the oversight of children or other adults.
