If you are short of trouble, take a goat. ~Finnish Proverb
Goat House Farm is a nonprofit micro-dairy and goat farm in Tallahassee, Florida. We are home to ADGA registered dairy goats and a hands-on education program focused on dairy goat care, herd management, and practical livestock skills.
The farm is also home to the Get Goating! Dairy Goat Youth Club. Through this program, youth gain direct experience in daily animal care, breeding, and herd management.
At the center of the farm is a simple mission: to connect people, animals, and dairy goat care and management through real, working farm experiences. Every part of the farm supports that mission. Daily care, herd development, and long-term management all serve as teaching tools that help build knowledge, confidence, and responsibility.
People come to Goat House Farm in different ways. Some come to learn and take part in the work of the farm. Others come to visit, stay overnight, attend a class, practice yoga, or simply spend time with the herd.
Whether you are here to build skills or just to slow down and enjoy the space, the goal is the same. We want to create meaningful connections with animals, livestock care, and the natural world.
We are not a rescue. We do believe by educating our communities to care for and care about the animals we live with, we can help reduce the burden on rescues.
“We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. . . For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.”
