A herd of goats can clear one acre of land per day. You can help cover the cost of one goat with a $100 gift for one day or $500 for one week. Donors to the Adopt-a-Goat program will be invited to an exclusive photo session with the goats in the spring. If you are donating in honor or in memory of someone, please be sure to provide the appropriate name and mailing address (not an email address) so an acknowledgement card can be sent.  Read more...
