🌿 Nature Walk with the Goat Herd

$4–$15 per participant

Join us for a leisurely Guided Nature Trail Walk with the Goat Herd at Jaybird Hammock Farm. This slow-paced outdoor experience invites you to connect with the land, the animals, and the natural rhythms of the farm.

Once all guests have arrived, the goats will be released from their enclosure. Participants should plan to remain for the full experience until the goats are safely returned to their enclosure at the end of the walk.

Farm owner, naturalist, and biologist Tina Jenkins will be your guide, sharing insight into the farm’s animals, native plants, wildlife, and landscape as we stroll at an easy pace along approximately one mile of nature trails.

The walk winds around two ponds, past the donkeys’ enclosure, beneath a large grandmother oak, and into the pine forest. We’ll pause to relax in pine forest hammocks while the goats browse freely around us, offering time to rest, observe, and take in the quiet beauty of the woods.

🌧️ Weather Cancellations

Florida weather is unpredictable, and weather-related cancellations at Jaybird Hammock Farm are never made lightly. We consider on-site conditions like standing water and setup timing when making these decisions—not forecasts alone. We know cancellations can disrupt your travel, hotel, or childcare plans, just as they impact our small farm’s revenue. We’ve experienced guest frustration when the call is made too early and the weather clears, and also when it’s made last-minute. There’s no perfect moment—but we always do our best to make a thoughtful, safety-based decision. Once a cancellation is made, it is final. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
