We are proud to announce City Grazing’s newest program, the Goat Cuddle Zone (GCZ) every weekend, Saturdays from 10am-2pm and Sundays from 10am-12pm. The facility upgrade which made this possible was funded in part by a generous donation from Calpine. The GCZ features six stations, each with one herd’s most affectionate small goats to get up close and engage with.
Key Highlights of the Expansion:
- Eco-Social Impact: The GCZ is a dedicated outreach space designed to provide the community an opportunity to get to know another being, to consider what life might look like from their perspective, to learn about them and their connection to the environment we share. At the same time it will serve as a unique classroom for the organization’s Workforce Training participants.
- Workforce Development: Trainees will staff the facility, gaining experience in hospitality, safety logistics, and community education.
- Kids Get In Free Saturdays: Thanks to Calpine and our generous donors, City Grazing is able to offer free access to kids and their adults on Saturdays, a day set aside just for families. Scheduling a timeslot through our ticketing system is still a must!
Tickets are required.
For over ten years, City Grazing’s herd of 100+ adopted goats have worked with a wide range of Bay Area schools, community organizations, municipalities, residents, and businesses.
We are happy to answer any questions and love finding creative opportunities to connect goats with the greater world!
Our mission is sustainable land management and fire risk reduction through outreach, education, and implementation of goat grazing.
