What to expect

Experience the joy of the farm at Purple Goat Gardens! There’s something restorative and enchanting about farm life, and they’d love to share it with you. Meet their goats—their charming personalities and adorable faces will make your day brighter. If you’d like to hike the wooded trails, the goats might join you—they love to browse for snacks along the trails. Are you ready to get your hands dirty? Goats need hoof trimming just like people need to cut their nails—are you up for the task? If you visit at the right time of the year, you may even get to milk one of the mama goats. When you visit the chicken palace, you might find some eggs hiding in the nesting boxes. Watch the hens and roosters gobble up the bugs in the grass or offer them some treats from the garden. Visitors in the spring may even get to hold some adorable baby chicks! After you’ve met the animals, take a guided hike on some of their 2+ miles of trails and learn about the native trees and plants along the way. And don’t forget about the gardens! In the spring and summer, get ready to help plant some seeds in their garden beds or a pot to take home. Learn about composting, sustainable planting practices, and gardening tips for your home veggie plot. If you’re feeling creative, stop by the Art Barn, where you’ll find their pottery and painting studios. There’s something for all ages and artistic abilities!
