Service Locations (2025 Update): Tier cost ranges are based an average backyard setup and needs and these estimated cost ranges will vary depending on your project size, location, and services requested. We prioritize repeat customers and Tier 1 & 2 locations first, followed by Tiers 3 & 4. Large projects needing sheep or goats for over 3 weeks and located in Tiers 3 & 4 (30+ minutes from Georgetown, MA) will also receive priority. To be considered, please join our callback list and note if you are a repeat customer so we can reach out to you starting in May.
Site Visits & Consultation Fee (New in 2025): Due to a high volume of requests in Tiers 3, 4, and beyond, we are implementing a site visit fee of $3 per mile (round trip) from our farm in Georgetown, MA. In some cases such as municipalities and non-profits the site visits may be waived as needed. This fee ensures we can properly plan and schedule projects for the 2025 summer season (Memorial Day to Labor Day) and helps cover travel and consultation costs, especially in extended service areas. If you book with a deposit within two weeks of your site visit, this fee will be fully credited toward your booking.

We have outlined our cost details on how we provide estimates for the locations noted as Tiers above.
Cost Summaries: on average a backyard within 8 miles from our Farm starts at $1,200.00. Here is a summary of costs and additional services we provide.
SETUP COST: start at $1,200.00* (refer to tiers for better location service estimates). Setup includes delivery of goats, setup of fences, setup of animal support, food/water, pickup of goats and equipment.
SITE VISIT: Required for better job estimating. We will need to visit the site before we arrive to determine conditions and geography and how to setup the job for the goats to be happy and safe.
COST PER DAY*: $150.00, per additional days after 2 days onsite *This will be included in your quote price. Generally jobs include 8-10 goats and/or sheep (sometimes we mix sheep with goats to increase the types of vegetation consumed). Generally goats are there a minimum of two days but may be supplemented by more goats and less time onsite.
LAND (Human) CLEARING*: $50.00 per hour/per helper * this will be included in your quoted price. As needed, for land clearing in excess of 10-15 ft for setup of fencing and access to job site. This includes more landscaping needs to remove left stems, grade soils, trim grass, etc.
EQUIPMENT & SETUP:
Electro Fence: We use an electric net fence which is installed around area to be targeted. Your fencing is probably not appropriate or suffice to contain and keep our goats safe. The electro fencing keeps the good guys in and the bad guys out. Goats come with a trailer, which if the site allows, will be left for them, if not, other shelter will be evaluated.
Utilities and Shelter: We prefer to use a hose from domestic water and connection to an electrical outlet, but we have batteries and a water tank on board our trailer/shelter, if necessary. We need to know ahead of time to plan.
Dangers: The biggest danger to the goats is domestic dogs. That cute little dog can become a predator when not supervised even when you think he’s just playing. Their presence also scares goats. Electro fencing will keep them safe.
** Some plants are poisonous and need to be avoided. We will do the best we can to identify what we can during our site visit. Plus goats are smart and usually don’t eat what they don’t like.
We do what we can to ensure a safe location for the animals while on your property. However, if stolen or harmed, the cost to YOU would be $300.00 per animal. If injured, it would be the cost of the veterinarian bill.
