International Literacy Day: Read with the Goats
September 6th - 10am to 6pm
$15 per person
Celebrate International Literacy Day with a peaceful day on the farm, where great books and friendly goats come together.
Bring your favourite book, find a cozy spot, and spend the day surrounded by fresh country air and our curious, affectionate goats. Whether you're diving into a new novel, catching up on a classic, or simply enjoying a quiet moment outdoors, this is the perfect opportunity to slow down, unplug, and reconnect with the joy of reading.
Our goats will be wandering nearby, always happy to offer a little company (and perhaps a few curious interruptions). It's a relaxing experience for readers of all ages.
Throughout the day, our farm stand will be open with a selection of homemade treats and refreshing drinks available for purchase, making it easy to settle in and enjoy a leisurely afternoon.
Tickets are non-refundable however in the event of cancellation the price of a ticket can be transferred to another event. Please let us know as soon as possible if you cannot make your reservation.
