Step back in time and embrace an ancient agricultural tradition with a hands-on goat herding experience in Hobart. Step into the role of a shepherd for a few hours, traveling alongside a lively herd of cashmere goats as they explore 30 acres of pristine meadows, woodlands, and creeks. Listen to the gentle jingle of their bells and learn their language while gaining a deeper appreciation for sustainable farming and land stewardship. This unique outdoor activity offers a rare opportunity to connect with nature, engage with charming farm animals, and experience the rhythm of the countryside.

What you'll do

Experience an ancient tradition of herding, traveling the land with the cashmere goats as they seek their meal
Guide them to the best spots, and follow them as they sample the delicacies of the meadows and woods. Listen to their bells, call them, and learn their language to become a true goat whisperer. Please dress for the elements with covered ankles and arms, wear sturdy hiking boots, and bring along a water bottle to stay hydrated. Do not forget a hat to suit the season!

From marshes to creeks and open fields to shaded groves, each step is a relaxed stride into the heart of the countryside and sustainable food production.
