Explore The Activities You Will Find at Roam on the Range
Goat
Shepherding
Shepherding the flock allows the animals to roam the range and access a diversity of forages to meet their individual needs and tastes.
Guests can accompany the herd out of the pasture and into the woods. The goats will follow a human who leads them with the appropriate call.
Once free to roam, they will choose which trees, shrubs and grasses to browse. Sit on a stone and watch them select their menu. As you track what they eat, you observe nature in unexpected ways.
Traditionally, herds used to graze and browse in the commons with a shepherd who lived with them for months at a time, moving daily in order to seek out the best forage and avoid overgrazing.
This activity requires a couple of hours, walking a mile or so. Part of the terrain is uphill and the vegetation can be dense. The views are spectacular.
Bird
Meditation
Watch and listen to not only the birdsongs, but the turkeys, ducks and chickens as they hunt their food amidst the berries, fruit trees and vines, communicate among themselves and care for their offspring.
While less strenuous than shepherding, watching the birds is no less rewarding. Sit in a lawn chair in the farmyard by the house.

Harvests
Our plant life is abundant and varied and can be harvested afar and nearby.
If you wish to forage in the wild, please harvest modestly in ways that do not deplete the wild stock. Ramps, dandelions, edible mushrooms, apples, blackberries and more are out there to be found.
Closer to the house, the vegetable garden and food forest: guests are welcome to pick and enjoy, once again in moderation, vegetables, berries and fruit.
Preserving your harvest
In addition to freezing, more traditional ways of preserving the harvest include root cellaring, canning and drying.
Guests have the opportunity to experiment with these techniques.
A small fee may apply for supplies.
