TESTIMONIALS
What a JOYful experience it was to have Nicole and her goats here at my facility!! Although we have had other animal visits here, this was our first experience with pygmy goats. The residents LOVED watching Samuel's antics and having the privilege of holding him as well. We could not have had a more delightful few hours.
Nicole is very knowledgeable about her animals and it is very apparent that she takes great care of them. She came equipped with cleaning supplies, coloring pages and storybooks. Money spent on a visit like this is well worth the cost. Seeing the smiles on the faces of my residents was priceless! It is certainly an afternoon we will all remember! Thanks, Nicole!
ACTIVITIES DIRECTOR
“My daughter and I really enjoyed our sessions with Nicole and her goats! It was a nice break from thinking about life stressors and just be, enjoying the goats and the laughter they brought. We are blessed to have had the opportunity to do this together.”
SESSION PARTICIPANT
I went to visit Parkside Farm for their Spring Open House! They have the cutest AirBnB open for rentals, and the sweetest Pygmy goats! The newest member of their farm is baby Samuel! Such a fun getaway for families with kiddos or if you have family/friends from out of town, needing a place to stay!

Fun activities and a beautiful a tour. I met Samuel and got to bottle feed him. I visited with Samson for a bit and he has grown so much in 6 months!
Thank you Nicole for hosting this event!
