Frequently Asked Questions

Can we feed/pet the goats?
A: While many of our goats are friendly, they are still live animals and they are working when they are at your home. We recommend not petting or feeding any of the animals unless a staff member is with you.
-
How many goats will you bring for goatscaping?
A: The number of goats may vary depending on the size of the project, how our goats are fitting in with each other, and how comfortable we are with them on the job site. We often have baby goats that we will keep on the farm unless we feel they are ready to go. However, you can expect usually between 5-15 goats and 7-10 sheep on most of our projects. We will sometimes also bring Ripley, our livestock guardian dog.
