GOAT YOGA
Welcome to Goat Yoga at Sugar Sweet Farm! Whether you're an experienced yogi or looking for your next big adventure, yoga with goats provides a truly joyful and unique experience. Grab your yoga mat and meet us at bucolic Sugar Sweet Farm for an hour of yoga with goats. Baby and mamma goats will roam around during yoga class kissing your toes, climbing on your downward dog, and cuddling up with you during savasana. Get ready for a lot of giggles, goats, and great joy. Enjoy goat cuddles and selfies after class, a peek at the farm animals and a stroll through the organic orchard as you float away from your adventure in goat bliss.
Goat Yoga classes are for all levels with a certified instructors, but it's perfectly fine to sit on your mat and enjoy the goats. More than a unique yoga class, Goat Yoga at Sugar Sweet Farm is a whole farm experience. Visit our Farm Stand for raw honey, Goat Milk soap and skin care products, fresh eggs, farm produce and adorable apparel. First time and experienced yogis ages 10+ are welcome! Occasionally we host family Goat Yoga for ages 6+.

Children love Sugar Sweet Farm and we love children and host them through every other farm offering except this one. It's the grown ups' turn for some farm fun. If you're interested in a experience for younger children please book a private tour. (Halloween Goga Events are open to children accompanied by parents ages 9 and up).

Yes if you are lucky. Goats freely share their goat curiosity, goat silliness, and goat affection– and that all comes with some goat poop and goat pee. We will do our best to help you keep your area clean but nature's call is part of connecting with farm animals. While our goats are very social and friendly, each animal is different in how it interacts with others: some will come right up to you and others may be a little shy. Patience and moving slowly are the best ways for you to pet, hold, and snuggle with our gentle goats.

Sugar Sweet Farm is the perfect place for your child's independent adventure to begin with fun, friendship, and exploration. Our loving and nurturing environment as well as our low staff to camper ratio ensure that your child will have a safe and positive experience at Farm Camp. Having a parent or two present disrupts the environment for other children at camp. We promise to take some pictures of your child at camp and share them with you.

While we generally enjoy perfect weather at Sugar Sweet Farm, occasionally Mother Nature needs to help her flowers grow. In the event that the weather is below 50° (too cold for humans), above 90° (too hot for goats), or raining, we will cancel class by notifying you via email about 2 hours before class time. We will then help you transfer your registration to a future class on a pretty day.
Everything we do at Sugar Sweet Farm has to pass this three-pronged test: "Is it beautiful? Is it good? Is it true?"

Our camp curriculum is filled with joyful activities, delivered by our role model camp counselors who are ready to be a best friend to each camper.
Farm Camp is 100% outdoors, live and unplugged. We are dedicated to creating meaningful connections between children and animals. We love sharing our passion for nature, animals, and farming with children. If you are interested in saving a spot for your child, please register right away.

Each day on the farm is unique with surprises from the animals and nature. We begin each morning with a welcome animal that can be brushed by and loved on by the campers. This may be a donkey, llama, or other animal.
We then move along to play cooperative games on the lawn and in the garden. We pick oranges and make orange juice. We gather eggs, visit the barnyard animals, and milk the goats. Campers love to join the "Kid's Club" by being brave enough to have goat's milk squirted directly into their mouths just like a real "kid" (the term for a baby goat).
We work and play in the garden and enjoy a farm craft project. We provide a healthy snack in the morning, eat lunch brought from home, then climb up to Bubba's Treehouse and play house in Sissy's Playhouse. We get in tune with our artistic brain and read stories in our bunny village, play the piano in our orchard, and sing in our garden. We cool off with water play time in the pool supervised by certified lifeguards.
And, of course, we do farm chores like scrubbing buckets, gardening, bathing animals, and basically, farming! We pepper this framework with all sorts of other farm learning and play (by the way, this is all top secret -- don't spoil the surprises to your children!).

No. It is not o.k. to bring a friend or child who is not registered for a Farm Event to hang out, walk around the farm, watch, take pictures or be on the property. We are not able to accommodate additional guests at the farm during our Farm Events. Everyone on the property needs to register, sign our waiver, and be in our “studio” participating, even if they are just sitting on their mat. We want to ensure that all of our guests feel comfortable participating without observation.
Our tours are popular & sell out very quickly. The tour disappears from the availability calendar once it is booked. So it might seem like we are not offering any tours, while we are actually sold out with no additional tours available that month. We publish tour dates about 6 weeks in advance. If you do not see your desired date available on the calendar, please email us your special requests and subscribe to our interest list in order to be notified when more dates become available.
Yes. Our AfterCare program is rich with farm activity and fun. Our returning campers insist that their parents to sign them up. They love their extra time on the farm to revisit their favorite animals and enjoy the farm and the new friends they have made, with a more intimate group. It's a blast! We wash animals, make guinea pig obstacle courses, play in the tree house and garden - such a variety of activities. (Programming, not babysitting).
AfterCare runs from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and the fee is $50 if you sign up before June 1 and $60 after June 1.
Email Elizabeth if you'd like to add AfterCare to your reservation: Elizabeth@

Many families celebrate their children’s birthdays with a Private Farm & Garden Tour, and we enjoy hosting those intimate groups. It is a very sweet day on the farm for the children and the animals. Our Private Tour offering is well suited to small groups. We recommend adding an additional half hour to your Private Tour booking to allow plenty of time to enjoy any cupcakes or refreshments you bring for your guests in the orchard.
Occasionally, tour groups are a bit larger and we do make allowances for this on a case by case basis (hiring additional staff and extending tours as needed). Should you need to add additional guests beyond the 12 allowed in the online booking software, email Elizabeth to see if this is a possibility.
Our family farm is in Encinitas, California which is in north San Diego County. Goat Yoga, Private Family Farm Tours, and all visits to Sugar Sweet Farm are by Private Appointment Only. After you register we'll send you a confirmation email with our top secret farm address and visit details. We hope you will help us keep our address information private.

All visitors to our property are "guests." Please include yourself, all adults and all children in your guest count. Children/babies under two years old are free but if you are bringing any children/babies you must maintain a ratio in your group of one adult per child. This is a safety issue for your children. If you do bring a child under 2 without a dedicated adult to keep them safe, we will need to charge you for that very young guest.
We are big animal lovers and confident that your dog is lovely. But we are not able to welcome other dogs to the farm. Visiting dogs upset our farm dogs and many of our animals who are rescues. And the goats hate to be upstaged! Our insurance company feels like it’s a liability as well. So please leave your beloved "faminals" at home.
In order to be a CIT you must be 13 years of age or older. You must then submit an application to be reviewed to complete the process.
Being a CIT is a commitment to selflessly serve Farm Camp, the campers, other staff members, and the overall harmony of the camp in a loving atmosphere. If you are willing to selflessly serve, commit to growing in your leadership skills, and being a part of a loving, supportive, and inclusive atmosphere then you are ready to be a CIT. If you want to be a counselor for social reasons or just because your friends are doing it, then those are not motives that will set you up for success throughout the course.
During your time as a CIT you are expected to constantly give. While there are many benefits and things gained from being a counselor, what is most important is making Farm Camp fun in a loving and safe environment for all the campers. You are expected to be constantly striving to express the Five Farm Camp fundamentals which are:
We regard each individual at camp as a unique individual who reflects alertness, joy, peace, ability, love.
We believe that animals deserve empathy, gentleness, kindness and compassion and strive to share our love of animals with our campers.
We stand firm in our desire to use kindness in all of our actions and to be good examples.
We believe that all have certain interests and talents, and we want to do all we can to further these and at the same time introduce new activities and interests.
We expect to make camping at Sugar Sweet Farm fun!
While completing the CIT course you will gain many practical skills that will help you in your life both at Sugar Sweet Farm and at home. You will be able to successfully work in a team structure, gain the ability to make decisions and problem solve, communicate verbally, learn how to effectively plan and organize work, and gain the ability to influence and lead others. All of these and more are listed in a recent Forbes survey of the top ten skills employers most wanted in college graduates.
A Beverage Burro is a cute Burro (most commonly known as a miniature donkey) with a saddlebag full of beverages, promotional materials, treats and party favors along with a big dose of joy and cuteness. Beverage Burros serve the purpose of a waiter and serve beverages or anything you decide to provide at your special event. They have even been known to carry party favors, candy canes, churros and other goodies.
