City Grazing is a San Francisco-based goat landscaping non-profit organization dedicated to sustainable land management and fire risk reduction through outreach, education, and implementation of goat grazing. An environmentally beneficial solution to weed control, we rent out goats to clear public and private land. Whether you have an acre or an overgrown backyard, our goats would be eager to eat your weeds and aid in fire prevention naturally. When they are not out on the job our herd lives on pasture in San Francisco’s Bayview district between the SF Bay Railroad and Bay Natives Nursery.

YoGoats!
YoGoats!
Bring your sense of humor and an open heart. Be ready to play, laugh, and stretch. Our little goats are affectionate, enthusiastic, and extremely loving. They will want to climb on and around you. It’s adorable, and maybe a little invasive.
YoGoats! is done for the season!
Check back for information on the 2020 season here, or through our email list (which you can sign up for below).
Your ticket price includes yoga and playtime with our goats for you, and brings so much more for City Grazing. Your support helps us pay for the costs of adopting and raising these sweet little kids to their full potential as grazers and also facilitates our day-to-day work as a non-profit. Goats bring joy and a sense of well-being to almost everyone who encounters them. As a non-profit, we are developing education and outreach to bring more goats to more people.
We are fortunate to have the talented Deborah Burkman and her associates as our yoga instructors. With 17 years of Bay Area teaching experience, she’s capably adapted her Vinyasa method to include the spontaneity of little goats in a program that’s suitable for all experience levels.
