The experience

The farm uses the herd to clean unmanaged land and produces ethical goat meat. The herd must be managed every morning, which can include herding across the mountain from 8-11 AM.

In the afternoon, we focus on feeding them. If time allows, we work on cutting invasive eucalyptus trees.

I would like to host volunteers who are physically fit and interested in both learning about goats and land management.
