You’ll arrive at Haute Goat Farm the evening before. Get settled in to one of our unique ‘sleepover’ spots, tour around the farm to meet the animals, get the lay of the place. At around 6pm, you will be seated at our intimate Screaming Goat Cafe for a true farm to table dinner.

Breakfast at 7:30 in the café. (Think warm house-made cinnamon bun with whipped goat cream cheese, fresh fruit and a steaming hot coffee).

Start with us at 8am in the goat barn as we feed the goats, round up the babies, milk moms (in season). We’ll check on the alapacas and horses. We’ll meet the Icelandic horses (including 2 babies!) in the paddock and do some mindfulness connecting with them. Also, this is a great time to take in the incredible view of the Northumberland Hills from there and just take a few deep breaths and appreciate the moment.

By now you’ll have worked up an appetite. Bring that appetite back to the Screaming Goat, where Chef Leslie has a big farm lunch all ready for you.

After lunch, take a half hour break to walk the trails, soak up the tranquility and beauty of the surroundings….or grab a quick nap in your room. In the afternoon, you will do a barn check and additional feeding if required.

Then we’ll get to work on a group project which may be building a shelter, putting up a fence or training animals for a new experience. Your project will become part of your legacy at the farm.

The day ends with a reflective walk with our Livestock Guardian dogs (Tornjaks) at about 3:30 through the fields and forest if weather allows.

Head back into the Café to reflect on a days work and indulge in a nourishing chef’s prepared dining experience.
