Groovy Goat Farm

Groovy Goat Farm sits nestled in Jupiter Farms, offering goat yoga sessions that lean heavily into joy and connection rather than strict asana practice. The farm operates with a clear therapeutic mission, specifically serving military members, first responders, and individuals with special needs. That sense of purpose permeates every session, creating an atmosphere that feels genuinely uplifting rather than gimmicky.

Yoga sessions function more as playful stretching with guaranteed goat interaction

The yoga flow here is beginner-friendly and intentionally basic — think gentle stretching rather than rigorous practice. The real draw is the goats themselves, a mix of active and mellow animals that staff distribute evenly across the group so every participant gets ample playtime. Hosts Poppy and Carolina encourage goats onto the backs of willing participants, and the session includes a sound bath led by Kimmy. Two resident donkeys are also available for feeding and petting as an added bonus.

First responder rucking events combine weighted walks with goat time and cold plunges

For those seeking something beyond the mat, Groovy Goat Farm runs specialized rucking events that draw first responders and community groups. These sessions begin with an educational component on rucking and its metaphorical connection to the weight we carry, followed by a walk through Jupiter Farms suitable for all abilities — participants have even completed the ruck with children strapped on as their weighted pack. Afterward, the group moves into goat time, then transitions to farm exploration, cold plunge access, and snacks, allowing attendees to connect meaningfully.

Closed-back shirts are recommended to prevent scratches from goat hooves

Practical preparation matters here. The farm provides towels for anyone who arrives in an open-back shirt, but wearing closed-back clothing prevents the minor scratches that come from goat hooves during interactions. The farm also thoughtfully includes a designated kids' area with coloring supplies and toy trucks, making it viable for group outings with children — middle and high school groups have visited successfully. The space itself is beautiful and safe, with a covered area ensuring sessions proceed regardless of weather.
