Adopt a Goat

ALERT:  THERE ARE NO MORE ADOPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR 2012.  ALL GOATS ARE FULLY ADOPTED.

WHEN ADOPTIONS OPEN UP, WE WILL TAKE DOWN THIS NOTICE.  UNTIL THEN LINKS FOR ADOPTION WILL BE DISABLED.

Garden Harvest's goats are of the alpine breed, capable of producing almost a gallon of milk each day for Baltimore area poor children & their families. When you "adopt" a milk goat, you are taking a concrete, solid step to turn the tide away from human suffering from malnutrition and illnesses stemming from a lack of nutrition and instead provide the conditions for healthy, productive, fulfilling lives for those in need.

What does adopting a goat entail?  By adopting a goat, you help provide for its food, its annual shots, wormings, hoof trimmings, vitamin supplements, and any additional health care necessary for its optimum health, well-being, and productivity. You do not actually own the goat; ownership stays with Garden Harvest; rather your adoption helps cover the cost of caring for the goat so that it can do its best to feed hungry people: Besides the milk the females produce, all the goats -males & females- boost vegetable & fruit production by adding fertility to the soil and by eradicating noxious weeds.

When you adopt a goat, you have no work responsibilities for the goat, but you are welcome to come visit your goat whenever the farm is open.  Goats are extremely affectionate and love receiving handfuls of grain from their adopting human parents! You just need to schedule a time with our herdsman by calling: 410-526-0698.

DONATION CARDS: When you adopt a goat, you may choose to receive a, nice, large adoption card with two photos of your goat and some biographical information. We will email your card at no extra charge. If you choose to have it mailed by postal service, there is a $5 charge for customizing, printing, and mailing.  If you want guaranteed second day delivery, you can choose the FedEx option for $15.00

General Information about goats: Goats have very distinctive personalities; they all have a great sense of humor, and are extremely smart. They are Houdini-like escape artists that learn how to untie knots & unlock locks to get out of wherever they are, just for the heck of it! Goats can live twice as long as dogs, and make just as loyal a companion.
