Esham Family Farm

Nestled in Albion, Michigan, Esham Family Farm operates as both a working agricultural operation and a destination for goat yoga sessions that draw visitors back season after season. The farm maintains a resident herd that freely mingles with yoga participants during hour-long classes held outdoors on the property.

Instructor Tina creates a judgment-free environment where participants choose their own level of engagement

Tina leads classes with an approach that accommodates both dedicated yoga practitioners and those simply seeking animal therapy. Participants looking for a serious workout can focus on their practice, while others are welcome to spend the session holding baby goats or giving attention to the mother goats. Tina is knowledgeable about the farm's operations and the herd, readily answering questions about the animals during and after class. Alexandra assists with sessions, contributing to the welcoming atmosphere that defines the experience.

Baby goats jump onto participants' backs during poses throughout the hour-long sessions

The young goats are comfortable climbing onto yoga mats and onto participants mid-pose, a behavior the staff encourages as part of the experience. Classes accommodate both large and small groups, with the goats distributed naturally among participants. The farm has been running these sessions since at least 2018, maintaining a consistent experience for returning visitors.

A small on-site shop sells farm-produced honey, goat milk soap, candles, and wax melts

After class, visitors can browse a retail space stocked with goods made on the farm and by local artisans. Tina's own farm honey is available alongside goat milk soap, candles, lotions, and wax melts in various scents. The shop functions as both a souvenir stop for yoga participants and a standalone destination for those seeking locally made gifts and natural products.
