I came to the Catskills in search of a quieter, more meaningful life. After 25 years spent in high-stress environments, carrying the weight of PTSD and recurring panic attacks, I knew something in my life had to change. That search brought me to West Kill, N.Y., in the heart of the Catskill Mountains.

I found happiness in the mountain air, the quiet trust of animals, and the stillness of the woods. The simple routines grounded me and ultimately reshaped my life. I also learned that healing doesn't always have to be quiet— sometimes it’s loud, messy, and downright fun. There’s a specific kind of magic in the chaos of a goat play session that clears the mind better than any boardroom meeting ever could.

Old Goat Farms, aka O.G. Farms, was born from that transformation toward peace, simplicity, and purpose. What started as personal healing grew into a calling: To create a place where people can slow down, breathe deeply, experience a sense of connection — and enjoy the moment.

Old Goat Farms is a space for anyone who craves a break from the noise of everyday life. Whether you’re brushing a donkey, walking the trails, or collecting eggs with your children, we invite you to settle into the moment and find your version of peace and joy here.

Welcome to O.G. Farms — a place built from healing and shared with intention.
