Goat cuddles, hike, cocoa & cookies
Explore Bracken Hill Farm on a guided outdoor holiday outing that pairs hands-on animal time with a walk through the woods.
We'll start with plenty of time to cuddle and visit with the goats before heading out together for a 20–30 minute guided walk around the farm.
And this year, we're adding something new! ✨
📸 Holiday Photos with the Goats
Step into our cozy holiday photo area, decorated with evergreens, warm lights, plaid, and simple seasonal touches — plus a few festively dressed goats, of course.
Bring your phone or camera and grab a family photo, pictures of the kids, a couples photo, or even this year's holiday card picture!
We'll be happy to help take photos so everyone can get in the shot.
Please note: This is a casual photo opportunity included with the experience, not a professional photography session.
🥾 Hit the Trails with the Goats
Then it's time for a walk!
We'll head out together for a 20–30 minute guided goat hike around the farm. Expect curious goats, plenty of stops for snacks along the way, and all of the usual goat shenanigans.
Our trails are natural farm terrain, so please dress warmly and wear comfortable shoes or boots that you don't mind getting a little muddy.
☕ Cookies & Cocoa
After the hike, we'll head back to warm up with hot cocoa and holiday cookies while enjoying a little more time at the farm.
Rescheduling is allowed at least 24 hours before your start time. Cancellations and refunds are not available. No-shows are charged the full price. Events are weather dependent; if conditions make an event unsafe, you'll be notified of available options.
