Hello, dream weekend! In this all-inclusive "baby goat and me" retreat, you adopt a baby goat to cuddle, love, and bottle feed. Retreat activities include baby goat bottle feeding, baby goat yoga, nightly baby goat bedtime stories, a baby-and-me photoshoot with a professional photographer, and a family walkabout.
- Adopt a newborn baby goat for the entire weekend but they will not sleep with you as they stay in their nursery when they are not with you
- Capture memorable moments with a professional photoshoot with your baby goat
- Rest and relax on a 125-acre farm, which features woodland trails, a private beach, a hammock park, volleyball, nightly bonfires, and more
- Walk through gentle wooded trails with your baby goat in a baby carrier
- Experience a mood-boosting, laughter-filled goat yoga class
It is a perfect retreat for moms-daughter, moms-sons, friends, couples, sisters, co-workers, and basically anyone who gets along and loves baby goats, farms, outdoors, campfires, and luxurious accommodations.
Daily itinerary
Friday
Arrive and get settled, then come find others in the barn to pick up your baby from a flower-petaled nursery. Bond with your baby. Bottle-feed your kids (these actually want to eat), cuddle them, kiss them, and take so many selfies. After a few hours of parenting, bring them back to the nursery and join everyone else in the hayloft barn for an amazing and delicious dinner. After dinner, it is bedtime stories in the lounge. Yes, your baby will be there. Yes, this is real.
Saturday
Saturday is goat-parenting galore. Wake up and get dressed because your baby will be hungry - the first order of business is morning bottle feeding. Of course, this also includes more feeding, more cuddling, and more Google-searching why your baby made that weird noise. Babies' tummies will be full, then it is your time to enjoy a farm-fresh country breakfast. Later that morning, enjoy the bucket-list experience of baby goat yoga. That is a full morning and everyone will need some rest. Not too long though, because you need time to get ready for your newborn photography sessions.
When you are done with your photos, enjoy some downtime on the beach, boating, some local exploration, or relaxation in the hammock park. Meet back together for a family walkabout through gentle trails in the woods, singing “hi-ho” like the seven dwarfs off to work but instead of axes, you will be carrying baby goats in a baby carrier. Which is better (and less dangerous.) At night, you will grab some dinner in the barn and watch movies under the stars and in front of a bonfire.
Sunday
On Sunday, have some breakfast before kissing your babies goodbye. You did it, you parented hard. Do not let anyone tell you differently. When you get home remember to tell all of your friends “You’ll understand when you have kids.” So, on top of being jealous of your fabulous retreat, they will find you insufferable.
