Twisted Roots Farm
Overview
Experience the enchanting beauty of nature by joining us for a guided walk in the woods at Twisted Roots Farm. Walk alongside our herd of goats as we meander through the serene landscape following a magical brook. Immerse yourself in the peaceful surroundings and reconnect with the natural world on this unique adventure.
When visiting our farm, don’t miss out on the opportunity to explore our gift shop and studio, where we showcase a variety of handcrafted artisan creations. Our materials are carefully sourced either directly from our farm or wild-harvested from the surrounding forests. Our range of products includes lard and goat milk soaps, live-edge cutting boards, tallow body butters, art cards, and other creations that draw inspiration from the beauty of nature.
Private Goat Walks start at $75 (group rate up to 6), and from October to May we offer our Sunday Goat Walks in the Woods by donation.
Open year round, please visit our website, social media channels or contact us directly for availability
