Women Who Stare at Goats Collective is founded on Talking Horse Ranch, 2.5 miles outside of Friday Harbor. We have access to 120 acres of beautiful pasture and forestland, where our goats are moved around in large paddocks to forage as they please. Simply put, we are a group of women who LOVE goats, who are guardians of a growing artisanal herd on San Juan Island. We offer a variety of activities with our friendly herd. From forage walks and hikes to playful, cuddly goat grams & petting zoos to quiet, reflective therapeutic sessions inside their paddock. We practice animal midwifery as a holistic, intuitive approach to raising animals. This pioneering method is rooted in respect, attunement, and upholding the quality of life for the creatures, that stands as an alternative to conventional, animal husbandry. See it as sanctuary-style practices meet animal raising where the quality of care results in a greater quality in the offerings the animals provide.

Enjoy a beautiful, guided hike with the whole herd on our 120 acres that walks along the pastures and heads into the forest. A trail takes us up hill and leads to a scenic overlook of the farm, where on a clear day, Mount Baker is in full view. This hike is slow and meandering, so the goats can munch along the way.
