Harley Farms Tour

Stacey and I have been going to Harley Farms for a little over a year now after being introduced to it by Brad and Jamee. We've always just explored the grounds on our own, pet some goats over the fence, and inevitably walked away with a more than advisable amount of cheese. Well Stacey had the brilliant idea of signing us up for one of their 2 hour tours for my birthday!

On the tour you get to learn about the history of the farm and its operation, plus you get to see some areas that you can't go to on your own. It's a pretty small operation, so it mainly means getting to walk out into the fields with the goats, walk through the barn, and through the milking area.

Since the baby goats are bottle fed from day 1, they are SUPER into people. Aggressively affectionate.
