GoatScaping, Goat Yoga & More Pgh Goat Activities

Goat Fest is this weekend, but what makes these critters so special? From meat, milk, and fiber to keeping invasive species out of our parks, hear how they’ve captured the heart of City Cast producer Maria Carter, plus tons of recommendations for local goat products and activities. Celebrate goats at Goat Fest this Saturday, July 29, noon to 4 p.m. in South Side Park. Learn about how goats can be used to fend off invasive species from Allegheny GoatScape. Try goat cheese from Goat Rodeo Farm & Dairy or Cherish Creamery. Cook your own goat dish with meat from Salem’s Market & Grill, or order the goat curry at Pauline’s Caribbean Soul Cuisine or Taste of India. Knit or crochet something warm and cozy with mohair yarn from Underhill Farms. Get clean with goat milk soap from Smiling Goat Company. Head to Freedom Farm Spa to relax with goat yoga and a beer. Goats in the city? It can be done, but there are a few restrictions. If you don’t have room for a pet goat, try volunteering at Kindred Spirits Rescue Ranch.  Want some more Pittsburgh news?  Make sure to sign up for our daily morning Hey Pittsburgh newsletter.
