Goat House Farm Volunteers

Volunteer on the farm for $5 per night (the least Hipcamp will let us charge!). 

Requirements: Work four hours on any day (for every two day stay, eight for four, etc) doing chores around the farm: cleaning the barn and pasture, clearing trails, weeding and harvesting, fence repairs, etc. No experience needed!   

The remainder of the time is yours to just hang out, paddle the lake, fish, or do some hiking on the nearby trails!

Come and de-stress by snuggling our goats. These bouncing bundles of joy are guaranteed to make you smile! We also have chickens, peacocks, honeybees, and even a pig.  Beautiful sunsets on the lake!

We are a located in a rural area of Tallahassee, along the Florida Big Bend Scenic Byway and surrounded by the beautiful Lake Talquin State Forest. Great fishing and hiking trails and beautiful sunsets. Two Trailwalkers and one Trailtrotter trails are just minutes away.  There is also a 10-mile Lines Bike Trail.  See trail maps in our photos!

Be sure and ask us about the availability of group yoga classes during your stay!  If we have classes when you are here, there is no charge for volunteers! You can also look up Goat House Farm and find our yoga schedule and private class info on our website!  (note: we do not book stays outside of Hipcamp, so please don't email us from there to book!). 

If we are showing booked for the dates you would like to visit us, please drop us a message.  Often the calendar here conflicts with our listings on other sites and we can probably fit you in!!

Note that we have multiple sites available.  Our tent sites are scattered on the property map to allow for multiple bookings, but you can choose from any of the sites available when you arrive - some nestled in the forest easement or in the goat pasture with the goats!   Please let us know if you are van camping so we can save a parking spot for you.  Because we rely on RV workcampers, we generally do not have RV spots available, but ask us!

We provide water, wifi, laundry, fresh eggs, and fresh fruits and veggies for the picking when in season.  

We have a small outdoor kitchen area with grill, stove, utensils, and picnic table.

There is also a common room with sofas, laundry, fridge, microwave, tv, coffee pot, and kettle. 

We have a small bath house with hot shower and a composting toilet. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, and fresh towels provided.

There is a communal fire pit and some sites allow a small campfire at the site. Please bring your own in state firewood, pick some up at the way in from Country Feed Store on Highway 20, or you can buy a bundle here for $5/bundle. 

Check-in/Check-out time is flexible depending upon concurrent bookings!

Dogs welcome at all sites, but in the pasture.  Pets must be leashed during the day when our chickens free range.

Please arrive before 7:00pm EST FIRM. Remember, there is an hour time change if coming from the west.  Late arrivals interfere with our milking routine and if you arrive late, we cannot greet you. 

Things you should bring: 

Lighting - flashlights, lantern, etc   

Trash bag for your site (pack it in, pack it out, please - we have garbage and recycling receptacles)

Refillable water bottles 

Sunscreen if you plan to be out on the lake

Bug Spray

Clothing/shoes you don't mind getting dirty

We are located at the end of a bumpy 3/4 mile dirt road off Highway 20/Blountstown Hwy on the lake.  Part of the road is paved, but most is dirt and we are prone to flooding after more than a couple of days of hard rain.   We have several cars in the neighborhood that don't have a problem on the road, but - full disclosure!  If bumpy dirt roads bother you, our road in is not for you.  We - and most of our guests - think it is worth it. 

We are about twenty five minutes from FSU stadium - straight shot! We love to host students and parents!

Feel free to message if you have questions!  The herd looks forward to meeting you!!
