Interesting facts about Haute Goat
Haute Goat began as a 10-hectare farm in Campbellford for a city couple who dreamed of living in the country.
The first animals on the farm were four Nigerian dwarf goats. Over time, the number of goats increased, as did the interest of family, friends and other guests in seeing them.
Eventually, the farm moved to the 80-hectare location in Port Hope and expanded to include more furry friends and farm experiences.
