Please pet our goats as much as you like. They love the attention. They're names are as follows:

1. Dill (white with brown spots - the leader)
2. Sprout (largest black one with smaller head of white hair - the lover)
3. Pickle (smaller black one with thick head of white hair - the escape artist)
4. Bean (brown - the outcast)

You can pull fresh greens/weeds from around the property and they'll eat them from your hand. In the winter you can give them some hay from the coachhouse (white building next to the main house) or leaves from around the yard.

Also don't forget to say hi to the chickens! Their coop is towards the back of the property near the goat shack. Feel free to bring them some of food scraps you may have. Message me if you're interested in collecting eggs.
