I had been wanting to do this FOR YEARS and never got around to it. Finally, a few months ago, I did it. I saw a Facebook ad for a combination goat hang out and brewery flight (via the Fever app "Brews and Baahhs"). My two favorite things!! (ha ha) So I bought the tickets and was not disappointed. It was one-hour with the goats, then you went to One Lake Brewing down the street afterward for a free flight (and we ended up buying dinner). The owner, David, was there and chit-chatted and answered some questions. Then did a few things around the property while we just hung out and petted the goats. I have never had such an up close and personal experience with a goat. They are a lot like dogs. They were hilarious and very affectionate. They wanted to climb all over us but we were prepared for that. It's a shame that David mentioned they might only be doing this for a year or two more. I'm sure it's a lot to maintain, especially during these crazy times. -But it's very covid safe. For what we did, you can wear your mask and you are left alone with the goats in a huge open pasture - so it's not a people-crowded event. I highly recommend it - it was a lot of fun. In case the number is not on the profile - he gave me a card with contact info: 847-226-9510; glennartfarm.com for more info. read more

Goat yoga has been on my bucket list for some time. I stumbled upon Glennart Farms in an email and started to read up on their urban farm. This is in the Austin neighborhood right next to Oak Park. I never realized I lived 10 minutes away from an urban farm my entire life! The chicken coops are at this address and then the yoga is down the alley in a field right by the firehouse. You can't miss it! They have the area fenced in with 20+ goats! I adore all animals and heard that goat yoga is a great way to relax and rid anxiety. I was fully present and in the moment when I was surrounded by these adorable goats. I will definitely recommend this to everyone who has never done goat yoga before. This was a more affordable option too! Usually if you go to goat yoga in the city tickets are around 50 dollars this is closer to 26 bucks! Not bad. Such a great time. David and Carolyn seem like the really take great care of their goats. David was telling me how a mother goat rejected her baby goat and they had to bottle feed the goat every four hours! They name the goats really cute names and tell you about their life and temperament. I wanted to take one home with me! They were clean and lovable. I will definitely come back :) NaaaaaAaamaste ‍ read more

Goat Yoga is real. It is a thing and it is happening in Chicago on the West Side at GlennArt Farm! GlennArt Farm has a pasture at Waller Ave. & Race in Chicago's Austin neighborhood. There are goats munching away in the pasture daily but on weekends there is yoga with goats in the pasture. It is fun and lighthearted. The yoga instructor is easygoing and legit; she teaches at other studios in the area. Goat yoga is only partially about the asana. Mostly it is about the delightful distractions from the kids that have zero regard for personal space. We laughed a lot during our class. Goats do not respond to sit, stay, no, leave it and all the usual commands. Goats can't resist platforms, bridges, tabletops and ramps, so don't be surprised when one jumps on your back in tabletop or runs up you in down dog. They are not heavy at all. Hopefully you bring a friend to capture the moment. BYO mat and water, hand sanitizer is probably a good idea too. This is a pasture and not a studio, so there are no restrooms or lockers. Goat yoga books out regularly so it is best to register ahead of time online. They entertain walk-ups when space is available. You will have time after class for plenty of pictures and general goat silliness. GlennArt Farms also sells unpasteurized milk, cheese, soaps and honey onsite after class. Free street parking. read more

I'm slightly obsessed with goats so it's nice to have a goat farm that's close by. I've been to GlennArt farm twice now, and David and his wife are the nicest couple. We were able to just hang around with the goats, play with them and feed them. We brought our own food to feed them and it was just a fun, therapeutic experience. I can't wait to go back and visit! read more

I went to Goat Yoga at GlennArt Farm with a group of people. It was wonderful! There were large tents to keep us from getting sunburnt, gentle baby goats that would stand on us while doing table poses, and the staff was really knowledgeable answering all my questions. I got to pet so many goats, and they weren't camera-shy at all! read more

I just called the number on the website listed under the "contact" page if you have questions. I assumed that's what I should/could do since it's right there on their page saying to do so. When I did, the lady answered and said she couldn't really talk right now but would send me a link to make a purchase. I asked if the feed for the goats was on their webpage, and she said, "yes, please read"...I don't know if I'm just out of touch with customer service these days, but having worked in retail/food service for years in my early 20s, I wouldn't have ever imagined telling a customer to "please read" when they call the store number with a question. If you don't want to answer questions over the phone, I would state that on the site (where someone is reading), or just don't list a phone number. She also said she'd text me a link to an order form and more info, but I have yet to receive that. I may still give them a chance, but this didn't leave a great first impression. read more

Awesome goats! Glad we brought treats and were properly warned that they get pushy because we had to brace ourselves. Warning - if you where sandals, be careful of being stepped on. Very very fun and cool goats. read more

This is such a one of a kind experience. It will probably differ a bit from your expectations but in the best way! It's not glamorous or instagram perfect but that's what makes it such a great experience. The goats are rambunctious and will sometimes jump up on you in pairs making it very hard to any poses, but that's part of the fun challenge. They are such an adorable distraction that you'll find yourself getting in to tabletop position just to entice them. The staff and owners of the goats are so kind and facilitating. Would definitely recommend! read more

Yoga with goats - it's one of the best experiences and emotions I have received! David and Carolyn take a very good care of their goats and. This is the only one farm in the City of Chicago and David and Carolyn are contributing a lot to their neighborhood and the city of Chicago itself with their hard work! I bought a quart of raw, delicious and healthy goats' milk and fresh happy-chicken eggs! So happy that I found this place. I would highly recommend to come and enjoy being around goats and baby-goats and try what the farm can offer! read more

Amazing!! The farm is lovely (especially during the spring and summer) and the baby goats are too cute.

My sister and I had been talking about trying goat yoga and she found GlennArt Farm. Absolutely loved it! Not only was it a lot of fun, David the owner really cares for the goats. All the goats were clean, healthy and very playful! The yoga instructor was very good and playful herself as she was mindful that we were there for the interaction with the animals. I plan to go back! read more

We will definitely be back! My husband and I wanted to do something different for our 5th wedding anniversary- so we booked some time at GlennArt Farm. David and Caroline were delightful hosts - and their urban farm was amazing! Who knew you could raise goats in Chicago? You can tell the love and nurturing that David and Caroline put into raising and managing this property. I can't wait to join Goat Yoga - there will be many baby goats this year. read more

This is a great goat yoga experience with wonderful people! I had such a great time doing goat yoga with Andrea and the baby goats from Glennart Farm. The goats are adorable (a couple of the kids actually climbed on me when I was doing a couple of poses... and it felt great!) Plus Andrea is a thoughtful instructor who adjusted to the class and goats accordingly. The people who run the farm are very knowledgable and friendly too. I took this class in 2018 and will be back in 2019! read more

My daughter and I did the goat yoga class this morning at GlennArt, and we couldn't recommend it more highly. Before class started, several of us helped the owner herd the 12 baby goats down an alley to get them to the pasture across the street. It was a riot because goats go where they want to, not where the owner wanted them to. The actual class is held under tents that shielded us from the sun. The yoga instructor was top notch. About half the class did all of the poses; the rest of us gave up when we had a goat nuzzling us or lying down next to us. The baby goats had just been weaned, so they were very vocal which added to the atmosphere. The animals are obviously well taken care of, and the owner is highly knowledgeable about them. The class is very reasonably priced, less than an hourlong yoga studio class. I can't wait to go back! read more
