Wander with Goats. Reconnect with Nature.
Take a peaceful stroll through Galena's scenic forest trails - led by playful goats! At Hoof It, every step is a chance to slow down, breathe in fresh, pine-scented air, and enjoy the quiet magic of nature.
Wander winding forest paths with curious goats by your side - pausing now and then for a few sweet snuggles along the way. Their gentle presence and the calming forest setting create a truly one-of-a-kind experience - perfect for relaxing, reconnecting and exploring for people of all ages.
Hoof It offers a variety of engaging experiences that combine the joy of interacting with their friendly goats and fun activities for all ages.
With the Goat + Floats experience, participants can relish in a root beer tasting session and, afterward, enjoy a sweet float while taking a leisurely walk alongside the goats.
The Foraging + Salve Making adventure invites guests to hunt and forage for healing plants in the company of the goats. Afterward, they can craft a natural salve using their findings to take home.
Hoof'n + Groove'n offers an evening hike with the goats as the sun sets, followed by a relaxing evening by the fire with live music and a breathtaking star-filled sky.
The Hoof It + Sip It experience gives visitors the chance to savor local wines, choose their favorite, and embark on a scenic walk with the goats, wineglass in hand.
Lastly, the Goat Trek + Bonfire escapade takes guests on an unforgettable goat trek through stunning landscapes, concluding with a warm and inviting bonfire to unwind.
