Family Owned and Operated
Located at Great Rock Farm in Georgetown, MA, Goats To Go has been family-owned and operated for years. Weed and brush removal projects, along with events like Talks & Workshops, Goat Hikes, and Goat Yoga & Snuggle classes, have been offered to the community. Throughout the seasons, our goats have worked tirelessly, tackling challenging weeds and poison ivy to help restore backyards, parks, and conservation lands.
To ensure the best results, projects are scheduled during the growing season, from mid-May to Labor Day. Each job is custom-quoted to match the right combination of goats and equipment with the specific needs of the land. Since some areas remain inaccessible to large equipment and chemical treatments often prove costly and ineffective, goats and sheep have provided an eco-friendly solution. As expert brush-eaters, goats thrive on tackling dense vegetation, while sheep graze efficiently on grass, both excelling at reaching difficult areas.
