Some of us can’t get enough of goats. The good news for us is that there are many opportunities to spend time with goats in the Triangle. You probably know that you can do yoga with goats, but did you know that you can go on a hayride with a goat, listen to a concert with a goat or watch a movie with goats?
Here are some places in the Triangle to get your goat fix. Visit the farms’ websites and their social media pages to keep up to date on their upcoming events. Prices and other details are subject to change.
