About Us

At Barnyard Buddies, baby goat yoga is more than a class. It is a fun and relaxing Colorado farm experience filled with baby goats, fresh air, nature, and meaningful animal connections.

“The instructor as well as the barn owners were fun and helpful. I was a little nervous going into it about being a beginner yoga level, but never once felt uncomfortable or embarrassed during the class. Nothing but laughs and great pics. Great great great experience, must do if you have the change!!!” – Nikki C.

Barnyard Buddies


We migrated from the city to our 40 acre farm in 2003 where eventually Barnyard Buddies was born. Our herd consist of 140 goats, 4 Texas Longhorns, 9 Mini White Dexter Cattle, 2 Red Bourbon Turkeys, 30 Chickens, 6 Magpie Ducks, 3 horses and 2 amazing DAD (Diabetic Alert Dogs), Jenny and Hannah. Fainting Goats are the highlight of the ranch.

The animals on the farm are for ranching purposes and pets, they are not used for dairy or meat.
