🐐 Bouncing Baby Goats Farm Tour

A one-of-a-kind interactive goat experience near Murphy, North Carolina.

⭐ One of the most unique and memorable things to do in the Murphy area.

Step into the world of goats and kids, spending time with a playful herd of Nigerian Dwarf and Dwarf Nubian goats. Walk alongside them as they explore the property, then step inside the goat yard for hands-on time petting, brushing, feeding, and capturing unforgettable photos.Β  Hold and cuddle the baby goats (twins born 5/15/26) while they are small and adorable too.

Every goat has its own personality β€” and some love attention more than others.

What to Expect

Your guide β€” Scott or Nancy β€” will welcome you to the herd and share what life is like for goats on a mountain farm.

The fun begins when the goats are released from their pen and eagerly head out for their walk. You'll stroll the property alongside them as they roam freely around you, exploring, greeting visitors, and occasionally stopping for attention.

After the walk, you'll step inside the goat yard where the interaction continues β€” giving you time to pet, brush, feed, and even hug some very friendly goats.

It’s a relaxed, hands-on experience that’s as educational as it is fun.
