What you'll do

We’ll follow the herd at an easy pace into desert washes and onto boulders, where we’ll find beautiful spots to sit and chat—or simply gaze into the silence of the landscape, the gaping sky, and the goats enjoying themselves.
We’ll walk about three miles and return with the goats after the sunset.

Long pants & suitable shoes for hiking are essential.

I moved to the US from France over 20 years ago to pursue work as a yoga instructor and massage therapist. For the past 10 years, I’ve lived on a beautiful farm at a 4,500-foot elevation. Here, I take care of sweet Nubian goats all surrounded by granite boulders, Joshua trees, and piñon pines.
I care for this land passionately, and I love sharing the beauty of the high desert with friends and visiting guests.

What a wonderful experience. This was my second time on the hike (I also came in January). I love this little farm so much. Emmanuel is such a thoughtful host from start to finish. I also really appreciate the effort he puts into keeping everyone safe. Everyone is wearing a mask and keeping their “social distance”. I can’t wait to come back again!

We absolutely loved this experience! It was truly magical to get to accompany the goats on their daily “walk.” They are incredible creatures - so loving, warm and curious! The scenery all around us was magnificent and Emmanuel gave us a personalized tour. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the land. Highly recommend!

The most common descriptor in these reviews is likely “magical,” because few other words accurately capture the experience! We had such a lovely time meeting and hiking with the goats. Emmanuel is a wonderful host, and as it’s all outdoors with little close contact, we felt very COVID safe! Highly recommend!!
