A Trip To This Christmas Farm In North Carolina Will Make Your Season Complete
Who can resist the charm of a cute little baby goat? What about a herd (sometimes called a tribe) of them? Not us… baby goats are as cute as cuddly kittens or playful puppies. And we can’t think of a better way to spend the afternoon this holiday season than at a farm featuring baby goats posing for holiday photos with Santa.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life.

Yes, you read that correctly. Santa with goats is a real thing and it really takes the stiffness out of those photos you can take with Santa in the mall — or any department store, for that matter.
Spring Haven Farm, located in Chapel Hill, is home to a few other goat-centric events during the year. They regularly host Goat Yoga, and just last month, their "Pumpkin Carving with Goats" event completely sold out. It seems the allure of baby goats is tempting, powerful, and just plain fascinating.
Winterfest: Santa With Goats takes place at Spring Haven Farm beginning Friday, November 23, 2018, and continues every Saturday and Sunday through Christmas. The gates open at 12:00 p.m. and close at 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $13.50/person (children 3 and under are free).
