Into The Woods Farm, LLC.

Tucked deep in the woods of Middle Grove, New York, Into The Woods Farm offers something you won't find at your typical yoga studio: a herd of affectionate, trail-trained goats who accompany visitors on snowshoe hikes and woodland walks. Owner and guide Phaedra leads intimate excursions through forested trails where the goats serve as walking companions, pausing to demand pets, pose for photos, and occasionally accept bottle feedings from guests.

Guided snowshoe treks through snow-kissed trails with the farm's resident goat herd

The signature experience pairs guided snowshoeing with the company of friendly goats who trot alongside visitors through the property's wooded trails. Phaedra fits guests for snowshoes reserved at booking, assesses skill levels, and tailors the route accordingly — making the trek accessible even for complete beginners. Along the way, she shares knowledge about the goats' personalities, local plant life, and animal tracks spotted in the snow. The trails offer easy maneuvering and striking photo opportunities, particularly when fresh snowfall dusts the trees.

Seasonal baby goats join the herd, and guests can bottle-feed the kids during walks

The goats here are genuinely social creatures — they actively seek out human attention, stopping mid-walk to solicit scratches and pets. Seasonal baby goats add an extra layer of charm; guests have the chance to hold and bottle-feed the kids, creating memorable moments especially for families. The herd's distinct personalities shine through on each visit, with Phaedra introducing walkers to individual goats and their quirks as the group ambles through the forest.

A long, narrow dirt driveway requires careful navigation in winter weather

Accessing Into The Woods Farm means traversing a lengthy, narrow dirt driveway that demands caution during snowy conditions. Phaedra mitigates this by sending detailed weather updates and road condition reports via email ahead of scheduled visits, along with clear directions to ensure guests arrive at the correct location. Booking and payment are handled efficiently over email, and Phaedra accommodates last-minute reservations when possible. The farm includes a small on-site store selling homemade goods like goat milk hand cream, plus a changing area and restroom with minimal walk from parking to the goats.
