Located in Benton, Pennsylvania Guests arrive at the main barn (and are happily greeted by our giant white fluffy livestock dog Runa). After a brief orientation for the bathroom (outhouse), sign a release and answer initial questions, the guests will be introduced to the herd in their pen or pasture. The barn pen is used during bad weather, the pasture during warm dry weather. Guests cannot enter the pen for health and safety reasons, but can pet adults and hold as many babies as desired. In the pasture, guests may enter the pasture to pet goats and hold babies. Carrie will give the breed history, as well as talk about shows, production goats, and heritage preservation, the 3 branches of Fainting Goat breeding. Finally, Carrie will talk about Barakah Farm's unique approach to goat care, practiced on only a handful of Fainting Goat farms and described in her book The Energetic Goat. When there are babies, goat cuddling is encouraged! Finally, Carrie will answer any last questions at the goat pen. We hope you leave with a greater appreciation of rare breed preservation, the role of goats in a healthy farm, and the unique and loving personalities of these conscious beings. Don't see your preferred time? Ask us! Want more time with the goats? Book our Picnic or Goat Herding Experience at bfarm.link No pets - advance notice of service animals please

Great family experience as well as couples and friend groups. We will meet at Haak's School House in Germansville off of RT 309 and you will follow my car to the parking zone near the trail entrance. We will enjoy about 1 hour of total hiking along a sometimes rough rocky trail. My favorite part is the climb up a giant bolder formation with some deep crevasses to summit the most beautiful panoramic vista! We can then take 30-45 minutes to traverse the boulders and enjoy a picnic before climbing down and hiking out of the forest. Activity Waiver to be signed prior to hike. Please plan to arrive by 10:00AM sharp and not later than 10:15AM. Arrival after 10:15AM will result in cancellation without refund as a courtesy to your host and fellow hikers who will have been waiting. Other things to note This is a great hike for individuals, couples, friend groups and families! The boulder climb to the top of the ridge is the most challenging part of the hike and of course dangerous, and optional. Was thinking of adding a scavenger hunt along the way to add some fun for group? Thoughts?

Forest Bathing is a practice that supports health and wellness through immersion in forests and other environments to promote the well-being of both people and the land. It is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku. Forest Bathing provides a pathway for people to remember how to immerse themselves in nature to rest from all that consumes them in their modern daily lives. This practice can provide calmness, relaxation and an overall feeling of bliss. We'll begin with a brief introduction to the land and health benefits of the practice. Then for over 2 hours, we'll gently move through a series of invitations while relaxing and walking in the forest. The sequence of invitations are simple but mindfully created to help you become present and build a meaningful relationship with nature. You will have an opportunity to be silent, walk, sit and share. The practice ends with a tea gathering experience that involves locally foraged plants and small bites of organic food. Awaken your senses, slow down and make a deep connection to one of the most beautiful forests in Pennsylvania. Join me... come along on a journey in partnership with nature. Other things to note: Restrooms are available upon arrival inside the Hickory Run State Park Visitor Center. Enter the main entrance and the bathrooms are located on the left.

Located in Benton, Pennsylvania. Meet and interact with the herd for peaceful bonding time, brushing, and lessons in herd communication and dynamics at Barakah Heritage Farm. Our mixed herd of Jasmine the donkey, the rescue horses, the rare black Malabar Jilfan Arabians, and Malenna pony will welcome you into their space to meet them, teach you how to communicate with them, and share mutual grooming and perhaps play. You will interact with horses as conscious beings, learning their body language and energy, their personalities, and what they seek from humans. We begin with a release form, orientation, and safety briefing. Then we enter the herd's area, either in the pasture or in the barn during rainy weather. Guests are invited to pull up a chair or sit in the grass and simply soak up the peace of sharing space with these lovely beings. Carrie will teach you about body language, intention and energy. The herd will choose how to interact with the guests. The experience ends with a final discussion and any last questions. Guests will leave with an understanding of the unique and vibrant individual personalities of these conscious beings, and how horses can co-exist with free will alongside their human partners. Note: there is no riding in this experience. No pets. Please give advance notice of service animals. Don't see your preferred day or time? Please ask us!

Located in Benton, Pennsylvania. Take a guided hike with our horses (not ride - there is no riding out of respect for our horses) through the fields to the ridgetop to enjoy the incredible mountain view. Your experience begins in the barn (please dress for the weather, expect manure/bugs/wildlife, moderate hill climbing) with a short orientation and bathroom break (outhouse). Then, the horses will choose their hiking partners. After a short instruction session on guiding your horses, we will take a leisurely hike to the top of the ridge to enjoy the incredible views. Once at the top, we will relax for photos with the horses. We will then hike back down to the barn to say goodbye. Note: there is no riding in this experience. We hope our guests leave with an appreciation for the beauty of this area and the horses, and a better understanding of the individual personalities of these conscious beings. This is a fantastic experience for anyone a bit afraid of horses, or inexperienced, to gain confidence. Experienced riders will enjoy the lovely views and relaxed time with the horses.
