Llamas and pizza in rural New Brunswick. Dancing Goat Therapy Farm turns a simple visit into a cozy animal day: you start with barnyard time, slow down on a llama-and-goat walk, then sit down for a wood-fired pizza lunch. If you want calm farm vibes and a real meal included, this one hits the spot.

I really like the hands-on animal time. You’re welcomed by birds like chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese, and you can feed them and even gather fresh eggs if the farm lets you. And I love the chance for close llama encounters—including friendly selfie moments—without any pressure to keep up.

One possible drawback: the schedule is weather-dependent, and the whole experience is about 2 hours, so it’s more of a reset than a long, serious hike.

Key highlights you’ll actually feel

• Friendly barnyard meet-up first, with time to feed birds and petting-zoo style hanging out
• Gentle llama-and-goat walk through pastures, a woodlot, and a river area at an easy pace
• Farm-to-oven pizza lunch: each person gets a 10-inch wood-fired pie with farm-fresh ingredients
• Pick when you want pizza for breakfast, lunch, or dinner by requesting a time
• Possible pizza-making moment if you’re lucky and it’s a good fit for your session
• Host energy matters, and the experience is consistently described as warm and welcoming

A farm outing that works even when you want something simple

This is the kind of experience you book when you want nature and animals, but you don’t want to spend half a day traveling or wrestling with complex plans. At Dancing Goat Therapy Farm, the day runs on a calm rhythm: meet the animals, take a slow walk with the llamas and goats, then eat something hot and satisfying. All told, it’s about 2 hours.

It’s also structured in a way that makes sense for mixed ages and abilities. The walk is described as suited for all ages and ability, and the pace is intentionally gentle. You’re not racing. You’re noticing.

Value is another big point. At $56.20 per person, you’re paying for (1) guided time with multiple animal groups and (2) a full, sit-down 10-inch wood-fired pizza lunch. That combination can be hard to replicate when you’re budgeting a trip day.

Stop 1: Dancing Goat Therapy Farm and the barnyard you can actually interact with

Your session begins at 1072 Tripp Settlement Rd, Burtts Corner, NB. The experience starts at the farm, and it ends back at the same meeting point. You get a welcome from the barnyard animals right away, which is smart if you’re traveling with kids or just want the fun to begin fast.

Here’s what the farm’s barnyard area includes:

• Chickens
• Ducks
• Turkeys
• Geese
• And many more birds

What I like about this part is that it’s not just a look-from-a-distance moment. You can hang out, feed the birds, and you may have the chance to gather fresh eggs. That last piece is especially appealing if you’re the type who wants a real farm connection, not only photos.

Keep your eyes open while you’re moving around too. As you walk later, the experience encourages you to watch for local wildlife along the route. It’s not a guarantee that you’ll see anything specific, but it does add that extra layer of “slow exploring” instead of “strict sightseeing.”

Llamas and goats: the slow countryside walk that lowers the volume

After the barnyard welcome, you meet the llamas and goats. Then you shift into the main walk—described as a beautiful slow-paced stroll through their pastures, a woodlot, and an area by the river.

The farm frames the llamas as gentle giants with a unique ability to calm the mind and soothe the soul. I’d treat that as the farm’s promise, not something you should assume will happen on command. Still, the way the experience is designed—easy pace, animal-focused attention, and quiet countryside walking—makes that calming vibe feel realistic.

Why this walk is worth your time:

• It’s paced for people, not for athletic goals
• You get time with the animals rather than a quick pass-by
• The setting includes pastures, a woodlot, and river surroundings, so it doesn’t feel like the same view the whole time

And yes, selfie moments are part of the appeal. The llamas are described as friendly, and there’s a clear invitation to get up close.

One thing to keep in mind: the walk is part of a short, 2-hour overall experience. So if you’re hoping to turn this into a long trek, plan for a different type of outing. This is about connection and calm, not distance.

Pizza lunch in their outdoor setting: 10 inches of real comfort food

After your walk, you head back for lunch with the llamas in their pastures. Dining is set in a room at the back of the farm, with outdoor backdrops—so you’re eating with that farm-in-the-background feeling instead of being tucked inside a generic indoor café.

Each guest is served a 10-inch wood-fired pizza made with farm-fresh ingredients. The menu options listed are:

• Cheese
• Hawaiian
• Meat

I like that the meal is included and simple. No add-on surprises. And wood-fired pizza is one of those foods that instantly feels like a treat, even if you’re keeping your day budget under control.

If you want a bit of activity with your food, there’s also a chance to be part of the pizza-making experience. The farm describes tossing the pizza in the open air or watching it cook in a wood-fired oven. That’s not guaranteed for every session, but it’s a fun possibility if you enjoy seeing how food is made.

Also, you can choose your pizza timing. The experience notes that you can pick a date and time, and request pizza for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. So you can match your farm day to your trip schedule.

Price and value: what $56.20 really buys here

$56.20 per person sounds like a lot until you break down what’s bundled. Here, you’re not just paying for entry or a photo with one animal. You’re getting:

• Barnyard time with multiple birds, including feeding and a possible egg moment
• Llamas and goats on a slow-paced walk through pastures and nature areas
• A full meal: 10-inch wood-fired pizza with farm-fresh ingredients
• A session that ends where it starts, keeping the day easy

The experience is also described as private, meaning only your group participates. Private doesn’t always mean huge luxury, but it usually means a more comfortable pace and less waiting around for the next person’s turn.

Finally, the tour is booked on average about 17 days in advance, which tells me it’s popular enough that you shouldn’t wait until the last minute—especially if you want a specific day and time.

Practical tips that make your farm visit easier

A few small choices can make a big difference on a farm outing like this.

• Wear shoes you’re comfortable walking in. Farm paths and pasture areas can be uneven.
• Dress in layers. This experience requires good weather, and it also runs outdoors as part of the experience rhythm.
• Bring your camera, but don’t treat it like a nonstop photo shoot. Time with animals is better when you slow down too.

Weather matters here. The experience requires good weather, and if it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. That’s reassuring when you’re planning a trip in any season where the forecast can wobble.

One more note: service animals are allowed. The walking component is described as suited for all ages and ability, but if you have mobility questions, it’s smart to check directly with the provider before booking so you know what the route will feel like for your group.

Who should book this, and who should think twice

This experience is ideal for you if:

• You love animals and want real interaction time, not just viewing
• You want a gentle countryside activity with a calm pace
• You’re traveling with kids or a mixed-age group and want something that works across abilities
• You want a farm lunch that feels like part of the experience, not a separate plan

Think twice if:

• You’re seeking a strenuous hike or long walking distance
• You need a wider range of meal options beyond the listed pizza types
• You’re the type who gets impatient with slow-paced activities

For a lot of people, this hits the sweet spot: part nature walk, part farm education-by-doing, part comfort meal.

Should you book Hike & Lunch with Llamas at Dancing Goat Therapy Farm?

If your ideal day includes barnyard animals, close llama encounters, and a wood-fired pizza lunch, I’d say yes. The biggest strength here is the combination: you get multiple animal moments plus a real meal, all in a tight 2-hour format that feels manageable.

Book it especially if you want something that lowers stress. The slow-paced walk through pastures, woodlot, and river area gives you that “quiet reset” feel. And the host’s friendly, welcoming energy shows up clearly in the way people describe their experience, along with the sense of learning more about llamas while you bond with them.

Just line up your expectations. This isn’t a long expedition. It’s a warm, guided farm break that’s best enjoyed when you’re willing to slow down and pay attention to what’s around you.
