Willow City Farm breeds, trains, and sells Livestock Guardian Dogs. Before these dogs leave to go work on their new farms across the country, we bring them with us to Goats + Yoga. Why did we choose this event? We didn't. Ice, the pups mamma, did! Willow City Farm schedules our public Goats + Yoga sessions in the fall of the previous year - in this case November of 2023. Since a dog's gestation is only 63 days, and we can only take the puppies AFTER they have had their shots at 6 weeks and BEFORE they leave for their new farms at 8 weeks, this means there is a very small 2 week window for the entire year that will have the pups in attendance. Because of this, we don't know which event will be the lucky one when we do our schedule. This year, we're excited to announce that the May 19th event will get to host the pups. You can read more about the working pups and why we raise them on our website. https://www.willowcityfarm.com/lgds
What is Goats + Yoga like?
We will be out back at Destihl's Brewery and Beer Hall (in the same area they hold weddings). You'll come inside and check in, sign a waiver, and get a wristband, a drink ticket then a drink. When it's time for your session to start, you'll set up your mats and get to meet the goats. Yep, you can bring your drinks into the yoga area! You will be given cups of treats to help persuade the goats to come to you. There will be some who will be on top of you, and some who'd rather watch you from afar or just eat out of your hand. You can be as involved (or not) as you'd like. We can also strategically place the right goats on top of you for just the right selfie!
This is a VERY informal class! You are welcome to bring your yoga mat, or a beach towel will be just fine, too. (If you have a nice yoga mat, we highly suggest you bring a beach towel!) If you are no longer able to attend, you may transfer your ticket to a friend. Just give us a heads up! We recommend you nama-stay with your friends or significant other and make it a day here!
If you have additional questions, feel free to call Tara @ 217-899-4562 or email info@willowcityfarm.com. Most importantly, have a great time!
