West of Schenectady and just out past Mariaville Lake, you can visit a little-known goat farm for some one-of-a-kind outings.
The Mariaville Goat Farm is a lesser-known gem of the Empire State, home to a family of goats that are friendly and living a wonderful life here on the farm in Schenectady County.
The goat farm has become a popular spot for locals to make a stop at when they're in need of the best of the best soap, with the farm selling handcrafted goat milk soap.
One of the best yoga experiences that you'll ever have, the classes here are typically 75-minutes long and involve lots of opportunities to interact with the stars of the farm.
The cozy yurt has a bed, with extra cots depending on how many guests you'll have with you, and even has its own wood-fired stove and oven inside to help keep things warm.
