Where Learning Grows: Explore Dancing Goats and Singing Chickens Organic Farm
Dancing Goats and Singing Chickens Organic Farm is more than just a farm - it's a hub for community-building and sustainable living education. Through hands-on workshops and a lively petting zoo, this farm fosters a connection between people and the natural world.
Farmer Ayub, a family physician, became disillusioned with the modern food system’s impact on his health and that of his patients. His love for gardening and small-scale farming, together with his interest in self-sufficiency and healthy food production birthed Dancing Goats and Singing Chickens Organic Farm where he and a large group of ever-evolving volunteers sell organic produce and educate visitors about permaculture and sustainable agriculture.
Visitors to the farm will also find free-range eggs, seeds, plants, and honey for sale, and if you’re looking for live animals to start your own flock or herd, that’s available, too!
The petting zoo serves as the focal point for their educational programs and they also host a wide array of educational events for adults who are interested in growing food and living well on the land and understanding where their food comes from.
Permaculture, utilizing a holistic approach to create sustainable, self-sufficient ecosystems that meets a community’s needs while minimizing environmental impact, has been the driving force behind the farm. Their passion for regenerative agriculture combined with the desire to help people heal physically has created the opportunity to produce more than just an organic product. Their commitment to community health and well-being has now evolved to include social care.
In the past six years, Dancing Goats and Singing Chickens Organic Farm has employed over 120 marginalized people, many of whom are women who have faced trauma, military veterans, and people emerging from incarceration.
In addition to providing a space for restorative yoga that’s free to the public during summer months, they offer the farm as a meeting place for AA and NA meetings. Dancing Goats and Singing Chickens is a safe space for anyone who wants to reconnect with nature.
