Did you know goats absolutely LOVE pumpkin?

It’s not just a tasty treat—the seeds are natural dewormers too!

We have partnered with The Ten Acre Garden to provide no- spray pumpkins. Each guest will receive one average-sized pumpkin to carve, with carving utensils and limited stencils provided. Feel free to bring your own stencils or carving supplies.You can take your pumpkin home or let the goats enjoy the leftover pumpkin bits—they’ll happily clean up while you relax and enjoy the farm atmosphere!

No outside food or additional pumpkins. Please dress to get a little messy (our goats are known to be playful pumpkin fans!), and wear closed-toe shoes for safety.We keep this 1 hour event small and intimate with about 25 guests to ensure a cozy, enjoyable experience. 

Please note: Well-behaved kids only — no running, chasing, teasing, or harassing the goats.

What’s Included:

  • One average-sized pumpkin to carve and take home (or feed to the goats)

  • Carving utensils provided

  • A selection of carving stencils to choose from

  • Time to hang out and feed our friendly goats at your feet

  • Small, intimate group setting for a relaxed farm experience

  • A fun, hands-on fall activity — dress for mess and wear closed-toe shoes.
