Gotta Goat Farm offers yoga with a twist!

"Four seasons of fun" is an ongoing collaboration between Castanet and Visit Penticton showcasing what Penticton has to offer all year round. Watch for it every Monday morning.

Break a sweat while enjoying the view at one of these South Okanagan locations!

GottaGoat Farm boasts arguably some of the best views in the South Okanagan - rolling hills, and even better: baby goats!

“We just had our last baby goats born within the past couple weeks, and we are enjoying all the joy and fun they bring to the farm,” said co-owner Cindy Campbell.

“We love to have both children and adults visit the farm - and they not only love hanging out with the goats, but also hearing all the stories about them, and learning about some of the many things that make them so special. When you come to the farm, we primarily interact with our main herd of about 40 goats (mostly moms and kids), and we spend time walking around with them, brushing and petting them, and letting them come and cuddle up with us. We also have a couple of pot-bellied pigs, some full-sized horses, a donkey and mini-horse, and lots of chickens around the farm.”

Break a sweat with GOGA - yoga with goats! Campbell said GottaGoat has already held a few classes this year.

“We have our standard Goat Yoga, which is primarily for adults (ages 13+), but we've added Family Goat Yoga (which includes children 6-12 yrs, if they are able to participate in a two-hour session), and for the first time we are offering Goat Yoga for kids! This is just for ages 5-10 yrs, and the kids will have the opportunity to stretch, relax, and play with our friendly goats in a beautiful outdoor setting. It's a great way for children to connect with nature and animals while practicing yoga,” said Campbell.

And GottaGoat can host larger groups - up to 25 - and birthday parties, too!

GottaGoat Farm is located at 2099 Green Mountain Rd in Penticton. Visit them in person or online at gottagoat.com
