Hike & Lunch with Llamas

The best part of this New Brunswick outing is its slow pace. At Dancing Goat Therapy Farm, you can feed chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese before walking beside llamas and goats through pastures, woodlot, and river country. I like the animal time and the wood-fired pizza lunch, made with farm-fresh ingredients. The host is also described as friendly and welcoming.

I also like that the walk is designed for all ages and abilities, and that this is a private activity for your own group. The main consideration is the weather: the walk and outdoor lunch need good conditions, and the two-hour visit may feel too quiet if you want a fast-moving attraction.

Key points at a glance

• Feed the farm birds first: Spend time with chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, and other birds, with a chance to gather fresh eggs.
• Walk beside llamas and goats: The gentle countryside walk passes through pastures, a woodlot, and along a river.
• Eat pizza outdoors: Every guest receives a 10-inch pizza made with farm-fresh ingredients and cooked in a wood-fired oven.
• You may help with the cooking: If timing and circumstances allow, you could toss the dough or watch the pizza bake.
• Private and personal: Only your group takes part, making this a calm choice for families and small parties.
• Plan around the forecast: Poor weather can lead to a new date or a full refund.

A farm visit that slows the clock

This is not a standard walk with a quick animal photo at the end. The visit begins among the farm’s everyday residents, then moves at the unhurried pace of the llamas. That change matters. You are not simply looking at animals from behind a fence. You can spend time feeding birds, meeting the llamas and goats, and watching how the farm works.

I like the way the experience builds from lively to quiet. Chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese give the opening a bit of energy. After that, the llamas set the rhythm. The walk through the pastures, woodlot, and river area is meant to help you slow down and pay attention to the setting.

The farm also gives you a chance to look for local wildlife during the walk. No sightings are promised, so think of this as a pleasant possibility rather than a scheduled part of the tour. Bring your attention outdoors, and you may notice more than you would on a tightly timed attraction.

Meeting chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese

Your visit starts at Dancing Goat Therapy Farm, at 1072 Tripp Settlement Road in Burtts Corner. The first section centers on the barnyard birds. You can hang out with them, feed them, and possibly gather fresh eggs.

That opening is especially useful for families. Children get an immediate hands-on activity, while adults can take their time with the farm setting instead of being hurried from one enclosure to another. The mix of chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, and other birds also gives the visit a genuine working-farm feel.

Animal behavior is never perfectly predictable, and that is part of the appeal. Feeding time may be busy and noisy. If you prefer a quiet start, you may need a little patience before settling into the visit. Service animals are allowed, which is a helpful detail for some visitors, though you should still consider how your animal will respond around farm birds and larger animals.

Walking with llamas and goats

After the barnyard portion, you meet the llamas and goats. The walk is described as slow-paced and suitable for all ages and abilities. Its route passes through pasture, woodlot, and by a river, giving you several types of farm scenery within a short experience.

The llamas are the focus, and the setting lets you spend real time beside them rather than simply taking a quick picture. You can take selfies with a friendly llama, but the stronger appeal is the calm interaction. The animals’ quiet presence gives this walk a different feel from a normal countryside stroll.

I would plan to wear practical outdoor clothing and shoes, even though the walk is not presented as strenuous. The route includes natural farm areas, and conditions can change with the weather. The activity requires good weather, so check the forecast before setting out and keep your schedule flexible.

The walk also works well for people who want a gentle outing rather than a demanding hike. The word hike in the title should not lead you to expect a long backcountry trek. This is a relaxed farm walk with animals, not a test of fitness.

Why the private format matters

Only your group takes part in this activity. That gives you more room to set a comfortable pace and ask questions as you meet the animals. It also makes the experience a sensible option for a family, a couple, or a small group of friends who prefer not to share an outing with strangers.

A private visit can be especially useful when children need extra time with the birds or when someone in the group walks more slowly. The stated suitability for all ages and abilities supports that flexibility, although the information does not specify the exact surface, distance, or level of wheelchair access. If you need a particular access arrangement, contact the farm before booking.

The host receives particular credit for being friendly. That personal welcome is important here because the experience depends less on a formal performance and more on a comfortable introduction to the animals and the farm.

Wood-fired pizza among the llamas

The second half of the visit moves from animal time to lunch. You eat outdoors in the llamas’ pasture, with the farm as your dining room. Each person receives a 10-inch pizza made with farm-fresh ingredients.

The listed choices are cheese, Hawaiian, and meat pizza. That is a small menu, but it keeps the focus clear and should make the meal easy to plan. If your group has dietary needs, ask ahead of time, since no other menu options are provided.

The wood-fired oven is one of the most distinctive parts of the experience. If you are lucky, you may take part in making the pizza, perhaps by tossing the dough in the open air or watching it cook in the oven. The cooking portion is not guaranteed, so treat it as a possible bonus rather than something included at a fixed time.

Eating beside llamas also gives lunch a bit of comic charm. The animals are described as gentle and well-mannered, but you are still sharing an outdoor space with animals. Keep your food where it belongs and follow the host’s directions. The appeal is the setting and interaction, not a restaurant-style meal with formal service.

Is $56.20 a fair price?

At $56.20 per person, this experience costs more than a simple farm admission. The price makes better sense when you count the whole package: barnyard animal time, a private walk with llamas and goats, the countryside setting, and a 10-inch pizza lunch.

It also saves you from arranging separate activities. You are paying for a hosted visit rather than just access to an animal enclosure. The private format adds value for families and groups that want their own pace.

The value is less clear if you mainly want a short llama photo or a large choice of food. The activity lasts about two hours, and the lunch menu is limited to three pizza types. People looking for a full-day farm program, a long hike, or a broad meal may find the offering modest.

For the right audience, though, the combination is appealing. A calm animal experience plus lunch makes a complete short outing, especially if you are already near Burtts Corner and want something personal instead of a large commercial attraction.

Timing your visit in New Brunswick

The activity operates Monday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the stated operating period of April 17, 2024, through February 21, 2027. The picnic can be arranged for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, so you choose a date and time by messaging the farm.

That flexibility is useful. A morning visit could suit a family starting the day early, while a later booking could fit around other plans. Since the walk and meal take place outdoors, choose a time that works with the forecast and your group’s comfort.

The experience is booked, on average, 17 days ahead. That is a practical signal to plan rather than wait until the last minute, particularly if you need a specific date or time. Confirmation is received at booking, and the ticket is mobile, so you do not need to print anything.

The start and end point are the same farm address. You should arrange your own way to 1072 Tripp Settlement Road, Burtts Corner, New Brunswick. No transportation to or from the farm is included in the information provided.

Who will enjoy this most?

I would recommend this outing to families with children, animal lovers, couples looking for a quiet rural activity, and anyone who enjoys a meal with a story attached to it. It is also a good choice for people who prefer a private experience and do not want to join a large group.

The gentle pace makes it suitable for a broad range of ages and abilities. The combination of birds, llamas, goats, and pizza also gives different members of a group something to enjoy. One person can focus on photography, another on the animals, and another on the food.

You should think twice if you dislike outdoor dining, need a guaranteed indoor plan, or want a highly active walk. The farm visit depends on good weather, and the lunch takes place outside. If poor weather cancels the experience, you can choose another date or receive a full refund.

Booking and cancellation details

You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Cancellations or changes made inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund.

The cut-off follows local time. The experience also requires a minimum number of participants. If the farm cancels because that minimum is not met, you can choose a different date or experience, or receive a full refund.

Because this is a private activity, your booking is reserved for your own group. English is the offered language, and service animals are allowed. If you have a special request, send a message when arranging your date and time rather than waiting until arrival.

Should you book Hike & Lunch with Llamas?

Book it if you want a small-scale farm experience built around friendly animals, a quiet walk, and a fresh pizza lunch. The strongest reasons to go are the chance to feed and meet several kinds of farm animals, walk directly with llamas and goats, and enjoy a meal in the pasture.

I would not book it for a strenuous hike, a large farm attraction, or a guaranteed pizza-making lesson. Those are not what this outing promises. Its appeal is the slow rhythm, the private setting, and the simple pleasure of spending two hours close to animals.

For $56.20, the experience offers solid value when you want an unusual half-day plan near Burtts Corner. Pick a date with good weather, allow time for the animals to set the pace, and expect a relaxed visit rather than a tightly scheduled tour.
