Summer is full of many pleasantries, but our recent trip to Hidden Villa to hike with baby goats was surely one of the nicest weekend outings of the year. Hidden Villa is a locally owned and operated farm where Claire works. The occasion for this particular visit was a celebration of Claire’s birthday!

Hidden Villa is somewhat similar to Terra Firma, the CSA that delivers a box of fresh fruits and veggies to our house every week. However, unlike many CSAs in the area, Hidden Villa specializes in outreach to kids of all ages. As part of this program, they have a number of farm animals including cows, a ram, and (of course) baby goats.

As it turns out, baby goats aren’t the best hikers. They are easily distracted by new green things to eat (mmm… ferns…), and they definitely resist being led around on a leash. In then end, Vytas and Lindsay both ended up carrying the goats a good portion of the way.
