Interesting facts about Haute Goat
Haute Goat began as a 10-hectare farm in Campbellford for a city couple who dreamed of living in the country.
The first animals on the farm were four Nigerian dwarf goats. Over time, the number of goats increased, as did the interest of family, friends and other guests in seeing them.
Eventually, the farm moved to the 80-hectare location in Port Hope and expanded to include more furry friends and farm experiences.

In Ontario, service animals are allowed in all public spaces unless otherwise prohibited by law. A service animal is not a pet; it is trained to perform tasks to assist a person with a disability, such as guiding individuals with vision impairments, alerting to sounds for those with hearing impairments, assisting during seizures, retrieving items, or helping manage psychiatric and neurological disabilities. There are no restrictions on the type of animal used as a service animal in Ontario. If the animal is not easily identifiable, the person can provide documentation from a regulated health professional confirming the need for the service animal.
Support persons welcome
By law, you must allow a person with a disability to be accompanied by his or her support person while in the areas of your business that are open to the public. A support person is an individual hired or chosen by a person with a disability to provide services or assistance with communication, mobility, personal care, medical needs or with accessing goods, services or facilities. If you charge an admission fee at your business, you must let people know you charge an additional fee for a support person.
