2022: In Like a Goat, Out Like a Lamb

The past six weeks at Ryder Family Farm have been a blur! While winter roared into southern Illinois, our ladies out in the goat barn started dropping new kids and its been hopping ever since. With four new baby goats and two little lambs on the ground (and more on the way), we couldn’t wait to schedule our first Goat Yoga date of the season.

If you’re feeling crafty, we’ve got a fun workshop planned to create your own Succulent Fairy Garden. The afternoon fun will be rounded out with light refreshments and exclusive baby goat cuddles. It could be a fun activity to do with Mom in celebration of Mother’s Day.
