About

A beautiful trip around one of Cape Breton Island’s gems, the scenic Cabot Trail. What could make an adventure like this even more memorable? Goats of course! No “kid”ding.  No trip around the trail would be complete without a stop at the Groovy Goat Farm & Soap Company. Located in lovely Ingonish, NS, take a self guided tour of this family farm – complete with some of the funniest four-legged fur friends around. It’s almost impossible not to smile when you see these gorgeous goats kick up their feet in joyous hops that look like their own version of a Highland dance.  

Friendly and fun for the whole family there’s no question that the goats will have you grooving and smiling both before you leave and for a long time after – but in all the excitement of meeting some new goat pals don’t miss out on the shop located right on the property. The farm sells delicious gelato, natural handcrafted soaps and lotions with, of course, fresh goat milk as a star ingredient. Check out the Groovy Goat Farm & Soap company on your next (or first) Cape Breton adventure and, as the folks at the farm like to say, enjoy the “goodness of goat!”
